Abstract

Dermal cylindromas are rare benign skin appendageal tumors that has two clinical presentation, solitary and multiple form. The diagnosis is unusual.However, it must be considered in clinical practice.A 51-year-old woman hadpainless nodule on right arm. Skin examinatipn revealedtwo fragmented nodules, 1x0.5x0.5cm, tan to white, and rubbery. Histopathological findings revealed a well demarcated and an unencapsulated epithelial dermal tumor, composed of numerous oval and polygonal nests molded into a "jig-saw" or "mosaic" appearance at low power. The nests of cells were composed of basaloid cells with scant cytoplasm and hyperchromatic nuclei and paler cells at the center. Nests of epithelial cells were surrounded and penetrated by a thickened band of basement membrane material that was PAS-positive. Immunohistochemistry (IHC) staining with p63 showed positive staining on basaloid cells. Langerhans dendritic cells in the surrounding nests stained positive with CD1a. Solitary dermal cylindroma occurred sporadically in patients without family history of cutaneous cylindromas.Combination of morphologic, histochemystry and immunohistochemystry staining were needed for accurate diagnosis.

Abstract

Prognosis of breast carcinoma is influenced by age, tumor size, histological grade and type, lymph node status, as well as metastasic status. Chemokine receptor CXCR-4 with its ligand, CXCL-12, may play an important role in metastasis of breast carcinoma. However, the role of CXCL-12 mRNA as a prognostic factor and a therapeutic target of human breast cancer remains controversial. This study aimed to investigate the level of CXCL-12 mRNA expression in lymph nodes of patients with invasive ductal breast carcinoma and the difference within the prognostic factors. Axillary lymph nodes obtained from 50 cases of invasive ductal breast carcinoma, were divided into two groups, with and without lymph node metastasis. Each group consisted of 25 cases. Total RNA was extracted from formalin-fixed paraffin-embedded. The CXCL-12 mRNA expression was examined using qRT-PCR method. The mean differences between the two groups were analyzed using Mann-Whitney test. The differences between CXCL-12 mRNA expression and each prognostic factor ware analyzed using Mann-Whitney comparison test. CXCL-12 mRNA expression was significantly higher in the lymph node of patients with metastasis of breast carcinoma compared to the non-metastasis cases (p<0.01). There were significant differences between CXCL-12 mRNA expression with poorly histological grade (p=0.003), bigger primary tumor size (p=0.005) and age of ≥45 y.o (p=0.012) in the metastatic group, but there were no significant differences between both age of <45 and ≥45 y.o.This study suggests that the higher CXCL-12 mRNA expression level are associated with bigger tumor size and poor differentiation in breast cancer patient with lymph nodes metastasis

Abstract

Vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) expression is associated with malignancy progression, metastasis, and poor prognosis in many malignancies, including osteosarcoma. However, studies concerning correlations between VEGF expression and histopathological prognostic factors ofosteosarcoma are limited. This study aimed to evaluate the correlations between VEGF expression and histopathological findings in osteosarcoma’spatients.This was a cross-sectional study using formalin-fixed paraffin embedded (FFPE) samples of 32 osteosarcoma’s patients from Dr. Sardjito General Hospital, Yogyakarta. Histopathological findings of specimens were re-evaluated by two independent observers, recorded for the subtypes, invasiveness, grading, mitotic counts, and tumor infiltrating lymphocytes (TIL). Expression of VEGF was determined based on immunostaining and evaluated using immunoreactivity score (IRS).Chi-square and Spearman correlation test were used to analyze the association between variables. Range of VEGF expression score was 0 to 11, with mean 5.09. Significant negative correlation between the VEGF expression and TIL was observed (p=0.046). However, there was no significant correlations between the VEGF expression and osteosarcomas subtypes, invasion, grading or mitotic counts (p> 0.05). In conclusion, the VEGF expression is associated with TIL. Further study is needed to evaluate the roles of VEGF and lymphocytes in osteosarcoma development dan progression in order to better understand of the role of VEGF in immunotherapy of osteosarcoma.

Abstract

Steroid cell tumor is a rarest ovarian neoplasm, classified as a pure stromal tumor and mostly is unilateral. Even though this tumor can exhibit malignant behavior but the morphology of cells showed benign characteristics which can become a diagnosis pitfall especially in the frozen section. Moreover patient without any hormonal imbalance or virilizing signs could make the diagnosis process more difficult. Here we reported a case bilateral steroid cell tumor of the ovary in a 42 y.o. unmarried woman without any virilization or hirsutism symptoms. Abdominal ultrasonography and computed tomography (CT) scan revealed a right ovarian solid tumor accompanied by ascites and right pleural effusion. There was significantly increased of Ca 125 level (1138 U/mL) and normal level of testosterone (0.10 ng/mL). Frozen section was done from the right ovarium mass and ascites fluid, the result was benign. From the total abdominal hysterectomy and bilateral salpingo-oophorectomy tissues,  histological picture showed diffuse and nests tumor separated by thin fibrous connective tissue with small round centered nuclei, mild atypia, and abundant pale cytoplasm. Large area of necrosis was found especially in the right ovarian tumor, tumor implant to the right fallopian tube and in the uterine serous layer. Periodic acid-Schiff (PAS) stain was negative in more than half tumor cells population. Immunostaining for Melan-A and Calretinin were focally positive, with Ki-67 labeling index ± 5%, and negative for cytokeratin 7 (CK7), cytokeratin 20 (CK20) and smooth muscle actin (SMA). Based on the tumor size, necrosis area, tumor implantation, and immunohistochemistry profiles, we conclude that were malignant steroid cell tumor. Currently, the patient is undergoing postoperative recovery and planned for platinum-based chemotherapy. A careful correlation between clinical and radiological findings, as well as histopathological results, is always essential, as is amply demonstrated by this particular case.
