十二指肠**部肿瘤(结果已公布)
Some cases of Solid pseudopapillary neoplasm exhibit endocrine differentiation, based on consistent staining for CD56 (neural cell adhesion molecule) and occasional staining for synaptophysin. However, chromogranin is always negative in these tumors. Both acinar and ductal markers are consistently negative. The absence of keratin expression in more than 50% of cases is unusual for any type of epithelial tumor or normal epithelial cell of the pancreas. Other consistently positive immunohistochemical stains in these tumors include vimentin, α1-antitrypsin (Fig. 35-62) (and α1-antichymotrypsin), and CD10, none of which is considered specific for any particular line of cellular differentiation. By electron microscopy, the most striking finding is the presence of large electron-dense granules, generally containing complex internal membranous and granular inclusions.[284], [295] Initially interpreted to represent either zymogen granules or neurosecretory granules,[293] these structures are now believed to resemble complex secondary lysosomes. They contain α1-antitrypsin immunohistochemically. Solid pseudopapillary neoplasms often express progesterone receptors, but estrogen receptor expression is not common.[284], [297] Of note, solid pseudopapillary neoplasms often harbor β-catenin mutations,[295] and thus show diffuse nuclear immunoexpression of this protein. Cyclin D1 is also expressed in this tumor |
