چکیده مقاله:

Immunohistochemical demonstration of tumor-associated markers may be valuable as an adjunct to conventional histology for determination of malignancy development in oral mucosal diseases. Accordingly, the present study determined the distribution of some important tumor markers such as heat shock proteins (HSP), fibroblast growth factors (FGF) and transferrin receptors (TF-R) in 22 samples of primary oral squamous cell carcinoma (SCC) and in 18 hyperplastic/dysplastic oral lesions. Fifteen samples of normal buccal mucosa were included for comparison. Serial sections taken from frozen tissues and paraffin-embedded samples were stained immunohistochemically using monoclonal antibodies against HSP, FGF and TF-R. Results showed that normal tissues had only a detectable level ofHSP and FGF while dysplastic tissues had a higher level of HSP and FGF expression. Oral sces demonstrated the highest level of HSP and FGF expression distributed widely across the tumor specimens. TF-R expression was detected only in cryostat sections with low immunoreactivity seen in normal tissues, and the highest level of immunoreactivity detected in malignant tissues. Expression of TF-R in paraffin-embedded sections was non-specific and was masked by fixation methods used to process these tissues. It is concluded that HSP and FGF are largely expressed by malignant cells indicating that over-expression of these markers in mucosal lesions might be a reflection of malignancy. Secondly, these markers are preserved well in paraffin-embedded sections and finally, expression of TF-R correlates with rapid cell proliferation but its assessment is highly specific and is only accurate in cryostat sections.

Clinical study for classification of benign, dysplastic, and malignant oral lesions using autofluorescence spectroscopy.

Autofluorescence spectroscopy shows promising results for detection and staging of oral (pre-)malignancies. To improve staging reliability, we develop and compare algorithms for lesion classification. Furthermore, we examine the potential for detecting invisible tissue alterations. Autofluorescence spectra are recorded at six excitation wavelengths from 172 benign, dysplastic, and cancerous les...

Benign, Premalignant, and Malignant Lesions of the Oral Cavity Benign Soft Tissue Lesions

ranging in color from pink to white, ridged or wrinkled exophytic, and pedunculated lesion. When these lesions occur on the surface of the lips, alveolar gingivae, or palate, they are well keratinized, while on nonkeratinized mucosal surfaces, they appear soft and pink/red. HPV is DNA virus detected in approximately 50% of squamous papillomas. The common wart, verruca vulgaris, is generally fou...

Immunophenotypic markers to differentiate between benign and malignant melanocytic lesions.

BACKGROUND/AIMS The authors investigated the expression of S100A1, S100A6, S100B, MelanA, and CEA in conjunctival naevi, primary acquired melanosis (PAM), conjunctival melanoma, and uveal melanoma in order to assess their potential usefulness in the pathological differential diagnosis of these entities. METHODS Paraffin embedded sections of 18 conjunctival naevi, 14 PAM, 16 conjunctival melan...

Differentiation of benign and malignant breast lesions by apparent diffusion coefficient value in mass and non-mass lesions

Background: Diffusion-weighted imaging (DWI) is one of methods in evaluation of breast lesions. We aimed to investigate the apparent diffusion coefficient (ADC) values in breast tumors and their accuracy in differentiating benign versus malignant lesions. Methods: In this cross-sectional study, 72 patients with 88 breast lesions were investigated by 1.5-T breast MRI from 2015 to 2017 in Athari...
