ABSTRACT

Activation of epidermal growth factor receptor (p-EGFR) is one of the triggers in the development of many malignant tumors, and the measurement of Argentophilic Nucleolus Organizer Regions (AgNOR) area is used as a marker of tumor proliferation. Alpha actin smooth muscle (αASM) of peritubular cells (PT) and Vimentin expression are modified during the expansion of the CIS /intratubular germ cell neoplasia (ITGCN) to solid seminoma. We evaluated the expression pEGFR, the AgNOR areas, the expression of αASM in PT and the Vimentin in neoplastic cells from CIS/ ITGCN to solid seminoma. 28 formalin-fixed paraffin-embedded archival tissue blocks of Seminomas from the Departments of Pathology of Clinical Hospital and Ramos Mejía Hospital (CABA, Argentina) were used in this study. pEGFR was expressed in CIS/ ITGCN with membranous pattern (8/9), switching to a cytoplasmic pattern in the solid seminoma (15/19). AgNOR areas of atypical gonocytes were increasing from CIS (3.5±0.3 µ2) to intratubular seminoma (3.8±0.4µ2) (p<.5), until solid seminoma (5.3±0.7 µ2) (p<.01). Increase of AgNOR areas is proportional to the expression of pEGFR. Conclusions: pEGFR was expressed in CIS/ ITGCN with membranous pattern, switching to a cytoplasmic pattern in the solid seminoma. The activation of this receptor could be the first step in the mitogenic signal transduction. AgNOR areas complement diagnosis of testicular CIS, but not differentiate between CIS and intratubular seminoma. The value of AgNOR areas is maximum in the invasive seminoma, and statistically different from intratubular seminoma. The intensity of αASM in PT decreased as the tumor progressed and Vimentin was negative in neoplastic cells.

ABSTRACT

El gen p53 regula el ingreso de las células a la fase S del ciclo celular mediante la síntesis de una proteína efectora. La mutación de este gen se relacionaría con la pérdida de la capacidad supresora y la concomitante progresión tumoral. La génesis del carcinoma de cérvix podría vincularse a la mutación del gen p53 por acción del ADN viral (HPV). Realizamos la inmunomarcación de la proteína p53 en 88 biopsias de cérvix. De éstas, 10 correspondieron a cuello normal, 41 a lesiones intraepiteliales de bajo grado, 24 a lesiones intraepiteliales de alto grado y 13 a carcinomas invasores. La positividad fue del 10 por ciento, 58,5 por ciento, 70,8 por ciento y 92,3 por ciento respectivamente. Se evaluó también: atipia coilocitótica, reacción inflamatoria, localización e intensidad de la inmunomarcación, tipo de carcinoma invasor, etc. En este informe queda demostrado que el mayor grado de lesión correlaciona con mayor expresión de proteína p53 anómala o mutada

ABSTRACT

Los tumores neurogénicos de la vía biliar son raros siendo generalmente neuromas de amputación posteriores a colecistectomía.Describimos un neurofibroma aislado del colédoco en un varón joven sin antecedentes quirúrgicos. Presentaba dolor abdominal crónico recurrente, vómitos y pérdida de peso sin signos clínicos de enfermedad de Von Recklinghausen o icterícia.El hepatograma era normal.La ecografía detecto una formación sólida que comprimía el colédoco proximal.La colangiopancreatografía retrógrada confirmó la estenosis.Se realizó exéresis quirúrgica del tumor y anastomosis bi-hepático yeyunal.El examen microscópico reportó neurofibroma intraparietal del colédoco. Como entidad aislada, nosotros conocemos solamente un caso publicado.
