Tumors of the genitourinary tract can be diagnostically challenging, particularly in core biopsies and cystoscopic biopsies with limited material. Immunohistochemistry is a valuable tool to use when morphology alone is insufficient for diagnosis.
To review tumors and benign lesions of the kidney, urinary bladder, prostate gland, testis, and paratesticular structures with an emphasis on difficult differential diagnoses, as well as staining patterns in normal tissue. Recommended immunohistochemical stain panels are discussed that can assist in the diagnostic workup.
Review of current literature.
Immunohistochemistry is a valuable tool, assisting in the diagnosis of problematic tumors and benign lesions of the genitourinary tract.
泌尿生殖道肿瘤在诊断上可能具有挑战性,尤其是在取材有限的核心活检和膀胱镜活检中。当仅靠形态学不足以进行诊断时,免疫组织化学是一种有价值的工具。
回顾肾脏、膀胱、前列腺、睾丸和睾丸旁结构的肿瘤及良性病变,重点关注困难的鉴别诊断以及正常组织中的染色模式。讨论了推荐的免疫组织化学染色组合,其有助于诊断检查。
