To assess the microvascular density (MVD) in juvenile nasopharyngeal angiofibroma (JNA) with CD34 immunostaining and evaluate its relationship with clinico-demographic features.
This prospective study included patients with JNA undergoing endoscopic excision. The histopathological specimen was stained using CD-34 antibodies to calculate MVD. MVD and clinico-demographic features were correlated.
The study included 12 patients with a median age of 15.5 years. The mean MVD was 39 vessels/high power field (range 5 to 151 vessels). MVD was significantly associated only with the volume of tumour (r = 0.65, p = 0.02). The recurrence occurred in one patient with an MVD of 107. The median follow-up was 38 months.
MVD is significantly associated with tumour volume in JNA, which implies a robust role of angiogenesis in the pathology of the tumour. Also, higher MVD may be a risk factor for recurrence.
采用CD34免疫染色评估青少年鼻咽血管纤维瘤(JNA)中的微血管密度(MVD),并评估其与临床人口统计学特征的关系。
这项前瞻性研究纳入了接受内镜切除的JNA患者。使用CD - 34抗体对组织病理学标本进行染色以计算MVD。对MVD与临床人口统计学特征进行相关性分析。
该研究纳入了12例患者,中位年龄为15.5岁。平均MVD为39个血管/高倍视野(范围为5至151个血管)。MVD仅与肿瘤体积显著相关(r = 0.65,p = 0.02)。1例MVD为107的患者出现复发。中位随访时间为38个月。
MVD与JNA中的肿瘤体积显著相关,这意味着血管生成在肿瘤病理过程中起重要作用。此外,较高的MVD可能是复发的危险因素。
