Clinicopathologic and mucin histochemical analyses of 90 cases of ovarian mucinous borderline tumors of intestinal and müllerian types

Clinicopathologlc and mucin histochemical characteristics of 90 cases of ovarian mucinous borderline tumors (MBT) of Intestinal (IMET) and müllerian types (MMBT) were studied to determine whether IMBT and MMBT constitute distinct tumor subtypes. The IMBT (77 cases, 78 lesions) contained goblet cells, absorptive cells and endocrine cells, which represented Intestinal differentiation. The average diameter of IMBT was 13.4 cm. Five patients (6.5%) had stage III disease wtth pseudomyxoma perltonel and one of them died from tumor. Approximately 50% of IMBT demonstrated gastrointestinal characteistics on mucin histochemistry. The MMBT (13 cases, 14 lesions) consisted of mumus columnar cells and eosinophilic cells, with no Intestinal differentiation. MMBT accounted for 15.2% of MBT. MMBT averaged 8.4 cm in diameter, and 29% were associated with endometriosls of the ipsilateral ovary. All patients with MMBT had stage I disease, and none suffered from pseudomyxoma peritonel. All patients whose follow-up data were available were alive and well, without evidence of tumor recurrence. The mucin histochemical findings in MMBT resembled those of noml endocervix. Results of the present study suggest that IMBT and MMBT have different characteristics and constitute distinct subtypes of MBT.

Oral manifestation of chronic mucocutaneous candidiasis: seven case reports

BACKGROUND: Chronic mucocutaneous candidiasis (CMC) is a rare disorder characterized by persistent or recurrent candidal infections of the skin, nails and mucous membranes or by a variable combination of endocrine failure as well as immunodeficiency. Oral clinicopathological features of CMC have seldom been described in detail. METHODS: Seven patients with CMC were reported in the study. The clinical and histological findings, etiological Candida species, immunological evaluation, and therapeutic pattern of oral lesions, were analyzed. RESULTS: Long-standing whitish hyperplastic and nodule-like lesions with exaggerated deep fissure were the typical and characteristic oral manifestations presented by all patients. The tongue was the most common site affected. Histologically, no obvious distinction was found between CMC and other forms of candidal infection. Abnormal proportions of T-lymphocyte subsets and positive titers of autoantibody were observed in three subjects (42.9%) and one patient (14.3%) respectively. Meanwhile, four subjects (57.1%) showed decreased albumin and increased globulin, three cases (42.9%) had high levels of ESR. But no iron deficiency was found. Candida albicans was the microorganism isolated from these patients. CONCLUSIONS: Multiple and widespread candidal infectious lesions can be observed on the oral cavity of CMC patients. Hyperplastic and nodule-like lesion with irremovable whitish patches and deep fissure are the most common oral manifestations of these patients. Dentists, otolaryngologists and pediatricians should be familiar with the clinical appearances of CMC to make an accurate diagnosis. Potential systemic disorders should be concerned to avoid the reoccurrence of oral candidiasis.

Generalized multinucleate cell angiohistiocytoma with possible origin from fibroblasts: A clinicopathological study of 15 cases

Multinucleate cell angiohistiocytoma (MCAH) is a vascular and fibrohistiocytic proliferation with unknown pathogenesis. Clinical lesions tend to be localized to an anatomical area. Exceptionally, the generalized variant is rare. This study reports three cases of generalized MCAH, and analyzes the clinicopathological features of 15 cases reviewed in the published work. Compared with the localized variant, generalized MCAH affected both sexes equally, had an earlier age of onset and a predilection for the trunk and extremities. Histopathologically, the most characteristic feature is the giant, bizarre multinucleate cells with angulated cytoplasm. Systemic diseases or abnormal immune conditions were revealed in six patients with generalized MCAH. For the first time, we found that the present cases showed increased elastic fibers in the affected areas, suggesting that the synthetic function of fibroblasts was active. This study suggested that MCAH originates from fibroblasts and is a distinct entity with potential correlation with abnormal immune states.     

Clinicopathology of pancreaticobiliary maljunction: relationship between alterations in background biliary epithelium and neoplastic development

Background/Purpose

Between 1988 and 2003, 38 patients underwent biliary resection for pancreaticobiliary maljunction (PBM). We reviewed the histopathologic findings for the surgically resected specimens to compare the clinical and pathologic features and assess the relationship between changes in the background biliary epithelium and the development of neoplasms.

Methods

Papillary hyperplasia (PHP) seen in the biliary epithelium of patients with PBM, was classified into grades 0–III in the gallbladder and grades 0–II in the extrahepatic bile duct, according to the extent, and was assessed for links with tumors in the same specimens.

Results

The incidence of gallbladder carcinoma was 13/21 in grades I–II, versus 0/16 in grade III, while the incidence of bile duct carcinoma was 4/20 in grade I versus 0/5 in grade II. Furthermore, these incidences for patients below age 50 years and age 50 or older were 1/18 versus 12/20, and 0/14 versus 6/17, respectively.

Conclusions

PHP of the biliary epithelium in PBM patients is an important precursor lesion, especially for gallbladder cancer, and the risk becomes greater with age, regardless of the type of pancreatobiliary junction (PBJ) and its location in the biliary tract.     

乳腺浸润性微乳头状癌(IMPC) 29例临床分析

 目的  研究乳腺浸润性微乳头状癌(invasive micropapillary carcinoma of the breast,IMPC)的临床病理特征以及生存预后分析。方法  选择2006年6月至2013年6月在本院收治的IMPC 29例,中位随访42个月,分析其临床病理特点、局部复发率、远处转移率及总生存率(overall survival,OS)等生存预后指标;与320例浸润性导管癌(invasive ductal carcinoma,IDC)病例进行对照,分析比较两组间的临床病理特点及生存预后指标。为进一步探讨IMPC病理类型对于生存预后的影响,将58例IDC与29例IMPC进行2∶1配对对照研究,分析比较两组间的生存预后指标。结果   29例IMPC中23例(79.3%)发生淋巴结转移,其中4枚及以上淋巴结转移的有15例(51.7%),18例(62.1%)伴有脉管侵犯。分子分型以Luminal B型为主(21例)。3年无局部复发生存率(local recurrence free survival,LRFS)、无转移生存率(metastasis free survival,MFS)、OS分别为:74%、86%、90%。Cox回归分析得出淋巴结转移个数是IMPC局部复发的影响因素(P=0.048)。与IDC组比较,IMPC组肿瘤体积大(3.70 cm vs.2.81 cm,P=0.007),淋巴结转移率高(79.3% vs.45.0%,P<0.001),淋巴结转移个数多(5.90 vs.2.16,P=0.003),淋巴结分级高分级比例较高(N2:24.1% vs.7.5%,N3:27.6% vs.6.9%,P<0.001),脉管侵犯率高(62.1% vs.20.0%,P<0.001),手术方式中标准根治术比例高(24.2% vs.3.1%,P<0.001),化疗方式中新辅助化疗比例高(31.0% vs.9.1%,P<0.001),其余方面差异无统计学意义。Log Rank检验生存分析得出IMPC组的LRFS显著低于IDC组(P=0.001),但两组间的MFS及OS差异无统计学意义(P=0.074及0.106)。将58例IDC与29例IMPC进行配对对照研究,Log Rank检验生存分析得出两组间的LFRS、MFS与OS差异均无统计学意义(P=0.586、0.965、0.920)。 结论   乳腺IMPC是一类预后较差的特殊类型乳腺癌,其较高的淋巴脉管侵犯性而非这一病理类型,与肿瘤的生存预后相关。
