谢谢赵老师!
以上英文文摘中文大意如下:
TTF-1免疫标记常被用来帮助判断转移癌源自何处。最常见其在甲状腺和肺来源的癌中表达。进而,想象中只要癌中阳性表达TTF-1,就除外乳腺起源的可能性。作者在其会诊病例中曾遇到过4例表达TTF-1的浸润性导管癌(经临床表现加上免疫表型特征所证实),标记显示肿瘤细胞确实表达TTF-1。然而,乳腺癌所见TTF-1表达的阳性率目前尚不清楚。为此,作者对546例原发性乳腺癌进行了TTF-1免疫标记(这些病例常规做了ER、PR和HER-2的标记检测)。TTF-1标记在核中呈阳性着色,便视为阳性病例。结果证明其中13例(2.4%)为TTF-1阳性表达病例。阳性表达的病例中,呈局灶性弱表达至弥漫性强表达,并在浸润癌和原位癌中均可表达。结论:有少数乳腺癌病例表达TTF-1。因此,一旦癌中检测到TTF-1阳性标记,不能擅自排除乳腺源发癌的可能性。

Immunostaining for thyroid transcription factor-1 (TTF-1) is frequently used to help assess the site of origin of metastatic carcinomas. TTF-1 expression is most frequently seen in carcinomas of thyroid and lung origin. Furthermore, it has been assumed that the expression of TTF-1 in a carcinoma excludes the possibility of a breast origin. We have recently encountered in our consultation practice 4 cases of invasive breast carcinoma (confirmed by clinical findings and other immunophenotypic features) that showed unequivocal tumor cell expression of TTF-1. However, the frequency with which TTF-1 expression is observed in breast carcinomas is unknown. To address this, we carried out immunostaining for TTF-1 on 546 primary breast carcinomas submitted for routine estrogen receptor, progesterone receptor, and/or HER2 testing. Cases were considered TTF-1 positive if they showed any nuclear staining for this marker. TTF-1 expression was identified in 13 cases (2.4%). Expression varied from focal and weak to diffuse and strong and was seen in both invasive and in situ components. We conclude that a small proportion of breast carcinomas show TTF-1 expression. Therefore, the presence of TTF-1 immunoreactivity in a carcinoma cannot by itself be used to exclude the possibility of a breast origin.

TTF-1有二珠单克隆抗体,二者的表达有些差异。但是本文作者的研究中乳腺癌均不表达TTF-1。 |

Case Report.Primary small cell carcinoma of the breast with TTF-1 and neuroendocrine marker expressing carcinoma in situ. Michael Christie1, Laura Chin-Lenn2, Monique M. Watts3, Alpha E. Tsui1, Malcolm R. Abstract: Primary small cell carcinoma (SmCC) of the breast is very rare and may be difficult to distinguish from metastatic small cell carcinoma. Confident histopathological diagnosis of a primary breast SmCC requires the demonstration of an in situ component. We report a case of primary small cell carcinoma of the breast with coexisting carcinomain situ in which the invasive carcinoma and in situ component both expressed neuroendocrine markers and Thyroid transcription factor-1 (TTF-1) by IHC. Expression of neuroendocrine markers and TTF-1 in the in situ component allowed a highly confident diagnosis of primary small cell carcinoma of the breast. To our knowledge there is only one previous report of TTF-1 expressing in situ carcinoma associated with a primary SmCC of the breast.
根据此文献复习已有2例乳腺原发性小细胞癌表达TTF-1。本例报道中的小细胞癌和导管原位癌二种成分均表达TTF-1。 |
