To study the pathologic features of pulmonary carcinomas with spindle and/or giant cells.
Twenty cases of pulmonary carcinomas with spindle and/or giant cells were studied by using lightmicroscopy and immunohistochemical staining.
Of 20 cases, 15 cases were pleomorphic carcinoma (10 cases with adenocarcinoma, 3 cases with large cell carcinoma, 1 case with squamous cell carcinoma and 1 case with giant cell carcinoma) , 4 cases were spindle cell carcinoma, and 1 case was giant cell carcinoma. Immunohistochemical results showed AE1/AE3 was positive in the spindle and/or giant cell component of 19 cases, Vimentin was positive in the spindle and/or giant cell component of 20 cases, P53 was positive in 10 cases and thyoid transcription factor-1 (TTF-1) was negtive in all cases.
Pulmonary carcinomas with spindle and/or giant cells is definded as a group of poorly differentiated non-small cell carcinoma that contains a component of spindle and/or giant cells. The diagnosis is based on histopathology and immunohistochemical staining of AE1/AE3 and Vimentin.
研究具有梭形和/或巨细胞的肺癌的病理特征。
采用光学显微镜和免疫组织化学染色对20例具有梭形和/或巨细胞的肺癌进行研究。
20例中,15例为多形性癌(腺癌10例、大细胞癌3例、鳞状细胞癌1例、巨细胞癌1例),4例为梭形细胞癌,1例为巨细胞癌。免疫组织化学结果显示,19例的梭形和/或巨细胞成分中AE1/AE3呈阳性,20例的梭形和/或巨细胞成分中波形蛋白呈阳性,10例P53呈阳性,所有病例甲状腺转录因子-1(TTF-1)均为阴性。
具有梭形和/或巨细胞的肺癌被定义为一组低分化非小细胞癌,其包含梭形和/或巨细胞成分。诊断基于组织病理学以及AE1/AE3和波形蛋白的免疫组织化学染色。
