应金老师的提议,我们加做了HMB45,CD10,遗憾的是我科室没有Calponin。结果如图,请各位老师点评。
以下是引用xclbljys在2010-5-30 7:30:00的发言:
海上明月老师:在与您的交往中,我深深地被您尽职敬业的精神打动!最近华夏病理网在讨论我们病理人前途问题,我想,中国若有一大批您这样杰出的病理专家,何愁病理事业不能振兴,何愁病理专业不被重视。 我会按您的指点仔细寻找核分裂像,并像您汇报。 |
过奖了。呵呵。
我们都是同路人,一根病理线,牵系你我他/她,牵系千千万万病理人。我从本网各专栏、各专家、各网友(其中包括你)那里学到了很多知识和特殊的病例。我得感谢华夏网、感谢你们!
网络缘分,苦乐与共,相互交流,相互学习,共同提高。为的是病理的明天。谢谢!

PAX8 (+)/p63 (-) Immunostaining Pattern in Renal Collecting Duct Carcinoma (CDC):
A Useful Immunoprofile in the Differential Diagnosis of CDC Versus Urothelial
Carcinoma of Upper Urinary Tract. Am J Surg Pathol. 2010 May 11. [Epub ahead of print]

Hopkins University, Baltimore, MD daggerDepartment of Oncology, Hacettepe
University, Ankara, Turkey. BACKGROUND: Collecting duct carcinoma (CDC) is a relatively
rare but aggressive type of renal malignancy with variable morphologic features.
One of the World Health Organization diagnostic criteria for CDC is the exclusion of
urothelial carcinoma of renal pelvis from the differential diagnosis. PAX8 is a novel
lineage restricted transcription factor expressed in renal tubules. We investigated the
expression pattern of PAX8 in CDC and its utility, in combination with p63, in resolving
the differential diagnosis of CDC versus upper tract urothelial carcinoma (UUC).
DESIGN: Archival tissues from 21 CDC and 34 UUC were retrieved from our institutional
files. Immunohistochemistry for PAX8 and p63 were performed on routine and tissue
microarray sections using standard immunohistochemistry protocol. Intensity of nuclear
staining was evaluated for each marker and assigned an incremental 0, 1+, 2+, and 3+ score. Extent
of staining was categorized as focal (<25%), nonfocal (25% to 75%), or diffuse (>75%).
RESULTS: CDC: All 21 (100%) CDC were positive for PAX8. Intensity of expression
was moderate to strong (2+/3+) in 19 cases (90%). Extent of staining was diffuse
in 13 of 21 tumors. The p63 was positive in 3 of 21 (14%) CDC cases (PAX8+/p63+).
UUC: The 34 UUC included 5 pT1, 4 pT2, and 25 pT3/pT4 tumors.Thirty-one of 34 (91.2%)
UUC were negative for PAX8, whereas 33 of 34 (97%) were p63 positive. Staining
intensity was moderate in 15 cases (44%), of which 12 were nonfocal or diffuse.
The unique p63-negative UUC was a pT1 tumor that was also negative for PAX8 (PAX8-/p63-).
CONCLUSIONS: We propose the use of the combination of PAX8 and p63 in the diagnosis of poorly
differentiated renal sinus epithelial neoplasms where the differential diagnosis includes
CDC versus UUC.The immunoprofile of PAX8+/p63- supports the diagnosis of CDC with a sensitivity
of 85.7% and a specificity of 100%. In contrast, a (PAX8-/p63+) profile supports the diagnosis
of UUC with a sensitivity of 88.2% and a specificity of 100%. The inverse PAX8/p63 expression
seen in CDC and UUC supports a renal tubular rather than an urothelial differentiation in CDC
given the nephric lineage restriction f PAX8.

Antibodies targeting p63 react specifically in the cytoplasm of breast epithelial cells exhibiting secretory differentiation
Methods: Thirty breast specimens were tested immunohistochemically for p63 protein. These included seven with benign secretory changes, 10 secretory carcinomas (nine invasive), one microglandular adenosis, three lobular neoplasias, four invasive ductal carcinomas, three clear cell carcinomas, one squamous cell carcinoma and one mucinous carcinoma.
Results: Only cells exhibiting secretory changes or secretory carcinoma were cytoplasmically reactive for p63. The positive reaction was also present as an intraluminal secretory product. This reaction was not seen in cells undergoing apocrine differentiation or in other cells containing secretory vacuoles.
Conclusions: Cells with secretory changes contain p63 protein or an antigenic equivalent. The detection of p63 protein continues to have considerable value for the identification of myoepithelial cells and thus the determination of invasion, but will also have value in the determination of secretory carcinomas of the breast and in understanding their development.

Protein expression of p63 is used to differentiate prostate cancer from benign mimickers. Recent studies suggest that it may also distinguish aggressive prostate cancer with down-regulated expression occurring in men with more advanced disease. We conducted a prospective study among 298 men ages 51 to 84 years who were diagnosed with prostate cancer in the Physicians' Health Study in 1983 to 2004 and whose tissue was available for immunohistochemical staining. We used Cox proportional hazards regression to evaluate the association of p63 protein expression with fatal prostate cancer. We correlated p63 expression with tumor cell proliferation (Ki-67) and apoptosis (TUNEL staining). The predominant location of tumor p63 staining occurred in the cytoplasm, an uncommon departure from the strong nuclear staining usually observed in nonneoplastic basal cells. Increasing expression of cytoplasmic p63 (tertiles) was associated with prostate cancer mortality (n = 19 deaths); the hazard ratios (95% confidence intervals) were 1.0 (reference), 4.0 (0.9-18.9), and 5.9 (1.3-27.5; Ptrend = 0.03). The positive trend remained significant (P = 0.047) after multivariable adjustment for age, year of diagnosis, and Gleason score. Higher tertiles of cytoplasmic p63 were also associated with reduced levels of apoptosis (Ptrend = 0.0408) and increased cellular proliferation (Ptrend = 0.0026). We found aberrant expression of p63 in the cytoplasm to be associated with increased prostate cancer-specific mortality up to 20 years after diagnosis. The mislocalized expression was associated with reduced apoptosis and higher proliferative activity and may suggest an oncogenic role in prostate cancer progression and survival.
