Manifestaciones periodontales de la Granulomatosis de Wegener: Reporte de un caso clínico

La granulomatosis de Wegener o granulomatosis con Poliangitis (GPA) es una enfermedad caracterizada por inflamación y necrosis de las paredes de los vasos sanguíneos. Es de etiología desconocida, baja prevalencia y alta agresividad. Esta enfermedad puede comprometer los tejidos bucales causando agrandamiento e inflamación del tejido gingival. Se reporta el caso de un paciente de género masculino que manifiesta aumento de volumen de la encía e inflamación asociado al diagnóstico de granulomatosis de Wegener. La lesión fue eliminada quirúrgicamente y el diagnóstico se logró al combinar los hallazgos serológicos del test ANCA, manifestaciones periodontales y análisis histopatológico. El paciente fue tratado con metotrexato y corticoesteroides y no presenta recidiva de la lesión luego de 2 años de control. En este artículo se analizan las manifestaciones periodontales asociadas a la GPA resaltando la importancia de un adecuado diagnóstico de lesiones periodontales caracterizadas por agradamiento gingival e inflamación.

Wegener's granulomatosis or granulomatosis with polyangiitis (GPA) is a disease characterized by inflammation and necrosis of the blood vessel walls. It is of unknown etiology, low prevalence and high degree of aggressiveness. This disease can compromise the oral tissues, causing enlargement and inflammation of the gingival tissues. The case of a male patient who presented rapidly growing gingival tissue enlargement and inflammatory characteristics associated with the diagnosis of Wegener's granulomatosis is reported. The lesion was removed surgically and the diagnosis was achieved by combining the serological findings of the ANCA test, periodontal manifestations and histopathological analysis of the lesion. The patient was treated with methotrexate and corticosteroids and the lesion did not reappear after 2 years of control. In this article, the periodontal manifestations associated with GPA are analyzed, highlighting the importance of an adequate diagnosis of periodontal lesions characterized by gingival enlargement and inflammation.

Puesta al día: carcinoma paratiroideo / An update on parathyroid carcinoma

Parathyroid carcinoma is a rare malignant disease that presents as a sporadic or familial primary hyperparathyroidism (PHP). The latter is associated with some genetic syndromes. It occurs with equal frequency in both sexes, unlike PHP caused by parathyroid adenoma that is more common in women. It should be suspected in cases of severe hypercalcemia, with high parathyroid hormone levels and a palpable cervical mass. Given the difficulty in distinguishing between parathyroid carcinoma and adenoma prior to the surgery, the diagnosis is often made after parathyroidectomy. The only curative treatment is complete surgical resection with oncologic block resection of the primary tumor to ensure free margins. Adjuvant therapies with chemotherapy or radiation therapy do not modify overall or disease-free survival. Recurrences are common and re-operation of resectable recurrent disease is recommended. The palliative treatment of symptomatic hypercalcemia is crucial in persistent or recurrent disease after surgery since morbidity and mortality are more associated with hypercalcemia than with tumor burden.

Warthin-like and classic papillary thyroid cancer have similar clinical presentation and prognosis

ABSTRACT Objective Warthin-like papillary thyroid cancer (WL-PTC) is an uncommon variant of PTC, usually associated with lymphocytic thyroiditis. Scarce evidence suggests that WL-PTC has similar clinical presentation to classic PTC (C-PTC), with no studies comparing risks of recurrence and response to treatment between both variants. Our objective was to describe the clinical presentation and prognosis of WL-PTC and compare it to C-PTC. Subjects and methods Retrospective analysis of a prospective cohort, including 370 (96%) patients with C-PTC and 17 (4%) with WL-PTC, consecutively treated with total thyroidectomy with or without RAI, followed for at least 6 months. We compared clinical presentation, risk of mortality and recurrence, as well as response to treatment between both variants. Results Of the total cohort: 317 (82%) female, 38 ± 13.5 years, median follow-up 4 years (0.5-28.5); most of them stage I and low/intermediate risk of recurrence. We found no differences regarding clinical-pathological data and risk of recurrence. WL-PTC was associated with a higher rate of anti-thyroglobulin antibodies (TgAb) (65% vs. 36%, p = 0.016) and lymphocytic thyroiditis (59% vs. 34%, p = 0.03). The rates of biochemical and structural incomplete responses were similar in both variants. WL-PTC had a lower rate of excellent response (23% vs. 54%, p = 0.01), which became non-significant when performing analysis by TgAb presence (50% vs. 67%, p = NS). Conclusions WL-CPT and C-CPT have similar clinical presentation and rate of recurrence. The lower rate of excellent response to treatment in WL-PTC is due to a higher frequency of TgAb. WL-PCT should not be considered an aggressive variant of PTC.

Metástasis pancreática como debut de carcinoma papilar de tiroides: caso clínico y revisión del perfil clínico patológico y molecular / Papillary thyroid carcinoma presenting with pancreatic metastases: report of one case

Pancreatic metastases of papillary thyroid carcinoma (PTC) are exceptional. We report a 80-year-old man consulting for obstructive jaundice and dysphonia. Abdominal ultrasonography showed biliary dilation and abdominal magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) showed a pancreatic head mass of 36 mm. A left vocal cord paralysis was confirmed and cervical computed tomography (CT) showed multiple thyroid nodules of up to 35 mm associated with bilateral cervical lymph nodes (LN). Positron emission tomography ( 18 F-FDG PET/CT) evidenced hyper-metabolic activity in bilateral cervical LN, lungs, pancreas and left intercostal soft tissue, as well as left gluteus. Thyroid biopsy reported a tall-cell variant of PTC, and endoscopic ultrasound guided fine needle aspiration (EUS-FNA) of pancreatic mass confirmed PTC metastasis. The molecular study was positive for BRAFV600E. Pancreatic metastasis from PTC can be accurately diagnosed with 18 F-FDG PET/CT and EUS-FNA, which is consistent with a predominant expression of BRAFV600E mutation and, thus, an aggressive presentation with poor short-term survival.

Neoplasia folicular tiroidea no invasiva con características nucleares de tipo papilar (Noninvasive follicular thyroid neoplasm with papillary-like nuclear features o NIFTP): en qué estamos hoy, a propósito de un caso / Noninvasive follicular thyroid neoplasm with papillary-like nuclear features (NIFTP): we are we today, about a case

Es bien conocido que ha existido en las últimas décadas un incremento en los casos de cáncer diferenciado de tiroides, especialmente los microcarcinomas. Diversos factores han contribuido a pesquisar pequeños cánceres como el aumento de la disponibilidad de exámenes imagenológicos. Estos pequeños cánceres tiroideos pueden tener un comportamiento no agresivo y no producir letalidad; esto es lo que se conoce como sobrediagnóstico. Esto último tiene implicancias tanto médicas como económicas por terapias agresivas. Así, desde el año 2015, un grupo de expertos cambia la nomenclatura en anatomía patológica del carcinoma papilar tiroideo variante folicular encapsulado (NIEFVPTC de sus siglas en inglés) por Neoplasia folicular tiroidea no invasiva con características nucleares de tipo papilar (NIFTP de sus siglas en inglés). Este cambio se basó en un estudio de Nikiforov donde los NIEFVPTC no tenían efectos adversos ni mortalidad en su seguimiento. Así, la intención inicial del cambio de nomenclatura es eliminar la palabra cáncer y evitar los sobretratamientos innecesarios. Presentamos un caso clínico de una paciente que se sometió a cirugía por un nódulo tiroideo clasificado Bethesda III donde la biopsia definitiva posterior a cirugía evidenció que se trataba de un NIFTP. A raíz de este caso analizamos la literatura hasta la fecha de esta nueva entidad y hacemos un repaso histórico de los carcinomas papilares tiroideos variante folicular. Además, desarrollamos nuevas interrogantes que se plantean desde este nuevo diagnóstico anatomopatológico, de cómo sospecharlo previo a una cirugía, cuál es la cirugía de elección, y cómo debiera ser el seguimiento una vez diagnosticado.

It is well known that there has been an increase in cases of differentiated thyroid cancer in recent decades, especially microcarcinomas. Several factors have contributed to diagnose small cancers such as the increased availability of imaging tests. These small thyroid cancers can have a non-aggressive behavior and not cause lethality, this is what is known as overdiagnosis. The latter has medical as well as economic implications for aggressive therapies. Thus, since 2015, a group of experts has changed the nomenclature in pathological anatomy of encapsulated variant papillary thyroid carcinoma (NIEFVPTC) for non-invasive thyroid follicular neoplasia with papillary nuclear characteristics (NIFTP). This change was based on a Nikiforov study where the NIEFVPTC had no adverse effects or mortality in their follow-up; thus, the initial intention of the nomenclature change is to eliminate the word cancer and avoid unnecessary over-treatments. We present a clinical case of a patient who underwent surgery for a thyroid nodule classified Bethesda III where the definitive biopsy after surgery showed that it was a NIFTP. Following this case, we analyze the literature to date of this new entity and make a historical review of the follicular variant papillary thyroid carcinomas. In addition, we develop new questions that arise from this new pathological diagnosis, how to suspect it prior to surgery, what is the surgery of choice, and what should the follow-up once diagnosed.

Manejo de nódulos tiroideos y cáncer de tiroides con lobectomía: experiencia de un equipo multidisciplinario / Management of thyroid nodules and thyroid cancer with lobectomy: experience of a multidisciplinary team

INTRODUCCIÓN: La extensión de la cirugía es motivo de controversia en el manejo de nódulos y cáncer diferenciado de tiroides (CDT). En nódulos benignos e indeterminados que requieran cirugía, la lobectomía es de elección, mientras que en CDT debe considerarse en tumores intratiroideos ≤ 4 cm. NUESTRO OBJETIVO objetivo fue reportar la primera cohorte chilena de nódulos tiroideos y CDT tratados con lobectomía por un equipo multidisciplinario. SUJETOS Y MÉTODOS: Se incluyeron pacientes sometidos a lobectomía por nódulos tiroideos y CDT que cumplieran: 1) tumor intratiroideo ≤4cm si punción aspirativa (PAF) Bethesda I, III, IV, V o VI; sin límite de tamaño si PAF Bethesda II, y 2) sin hallazgos sospechosos en la ecografía preoperatoria. En pacientes con CDT se describió presentación clínica, complicaciones y tipo de respuesta a tratamiento según ATA 2015 y MINSAL 2020. RESULTADOS: Se incluyeron 105 pacientes, edad 38±11 años, 84 (80%) mujeres, diámetro 2,2±1,5cm: 41 (39%) benignos y 64 (61%) CDT. De los CDT, 44 (69%) tenían cáncer papilar, 7 (11%) cáncer folicular y 13 (20%) NIFTP. Todos eran etapa I. Según MINSAL, 55 (85,9%) de riesgo muy bajo/bajo y 9 (14,1%) intermedio. Según ATA, 51 (80%) y 13 (20%) de riesgo bajo e intermedio, respectivamente. Se indicó totalización precoz y ablación con radioyodo en 6 (9,4%) pacientes: 4 por invasión venosa y 2 por CPT variedad sólida. De los 39 no totalizados seguidos ≥6 meses, no hubo casos de respuesta incompleta. Respecto a las complicaciones, ningún paciente tuvo hipocalcemia y 10 (9,5%) tuvieron disfonía transitoria. CONCLUSIONES: En pacientes con nódulos tiroideos o CDT seleccionados, la lobectomía es una alternativa adecuada. En CDT logra buen control de enfermedad sin necesidad de tratamiento adicional en cerca de 90% de los pacientes, con muy baja morbilidad asociada.

INTRODUCTION: The extension of surgery is a matter of debate in the management of thyroid nodules and differentiated thyroid cancer (DTC). While lobectomy is the procedure of choice in benign and indeterminate nodules that require surgery, it is an option in intrathyroidal DTC up to 4 cm. OUR OBJECTIVE was to report the first Chilean cohort of patients with thyroid nodules and DTC treated with lobectomy by a multidisciplinary team. SUBJECTS AND METHODS: We included patients with thyroid nodules treated with lobectomy, who met the following inclusion criteria: 1) intrathyroidal tumor ≤ 4cm if fine-needle aspiration biopsy (FNA) was Bethesda I, III, IV, V o VI; without size limit if FNA was Bethesda II, and 2) non-suspicious findings in preoperative ultrasound. In patients with DTC we described clinical presentation, complications and response to treatment according to ATA 2015 and MINSAL 2020. RESULTS: We included 105 patients, 38±11 years old, 84 (80%) female, diameter 2.2±1.5cm: 41 (39%) benign and 64 (61%) DTC. Among DTC, 44 (69%) had papillary thyroid cancer, 7 (11%) follicular thyroid cancer and 13 (20%) NIFTP. All had stage I DTC. According to MINSAL, 55 (85.9%) were very low/low, and 9 (14.1%) intermediate risk. According to ATA, 51 (80%) and 13 (20%) were low and intermediate risk, respectively. Six (9.4%) patients required early completion thyroidectomy and radioiodine ablation: 4 due to angioinvasion and 2 due to solid variant PTC. None of the 39 non-completed patients followed for at least 6 months had incomplete response. Regarding complications, there were no cases of hypocalcemia and 10 (9.5%) patients had transient dysphonia. CONCLUSIONS: In properly selected patients with thyroid nodules or DTC, lobectomy is an appropriate treatment option. In DTC, lobectomy accomplishes adequate disease control without need of further treatment in nearly 90% of patients, with very low associated morbidity.

Estudio y manejo de nódulos tiroideos por médicos no especialistas. Consenso SOCHED / Study and management of thyroid nodes by non specialist physicians: SOCHED consensus

The thyroid nodule is a frequent cause of primary care consultation. The prevalence of a palpable thyroid nodule is approximately 4-7%, increasing up to 67% by the incidental detection of nodules on ultrasound. The vast majority are benign and asymptomatic, staying stable over time. The clinical importance of studying a thyroid nodule is to exclude thyroid cancer, which occurs in 5 to 10% of the nodules. The Board of SOCHED (Chilean Society of Endocrinology and Diabetes) asked the Thyroid Study Group to develop a consensus regarding the diagnostic management of the thyroid nodule in Chile, aimed at non-specialist physicians and adapted to the national reality. To this end, a multidisciplinary group of 31 experts was established among university academics, active researchers with publications on the subject and prominent members of scientific societies of endocrinology, head and neck surgery, pathology and radiology. A total of 14 questions were developed with key aspects for the diagnosis and subsequent referral of patients with thyroid nodules, which were addressed by the participants. In those areas where the evidence was insufficient or the national reality had to be considered, the consensus opinion of the experts was used through the Delphi methodology. The consensus was approved by the SOCHED board for publication.

Concordancia de la citología por punción con aguja fina para la detección de cáncer de tiroides en pediatría / Diagnostic yield of fine-needle aspiration cytology for the detection of thyroid cancer in pediatric patients

Background: Despite the low frequency of thyroid nodules (TN) in children, one of every four is malignant. Fine-needle aspiration cytology (FNAC) has a high accuracy detecting thyroid cancer. Aim: To evaluate the performance of FNAC in TN in Chilean children to detect thyroid cancer. Patients and Methods: The pathological reports of 77 thyroidectomies and 103 FNAC carried out in patients aged less than 18 years, between 2002 and 2013 were reviewed. In 36 patients aged 15 ± 2 years (77% women), both the reports of the thyroidectomy and FNAC were available. The cytological specimens were reclassified based on Bethesda 2010. The histology was classified as benign (nodular hyperplasia and follicular adenoma, n = 18), or malignant (papillary, follicular and medullar carcinoma, n = 18). The concordance of the cytology with the final biopsy report was calculated. Results: FNAC classified 13 specimens as definitively benign and 13 as definitively malignant. Among these, these concordances with the pathological study of the biopsy was 100%. Of six cytology tests considered "suspicious for follicular neoplasm" by FNAC, four were benign (67%), and two malignant (33%). Of four cytology tests considered "suggestive of carcinoma" by FNAC, one was benign (25%), and three malignant (75%). Conclusions: Among the studied children, there was a good concordance between FNAC and surgical biopsies. Therefore a FNAC should be carried out when malignancy is suspected in pediatric patients with a TN.

Del macro al microcarcinoma tiroideo: cambios en las características de presentación del cáncer de tiroides en un centro universitario chileno en 20 años / From macro to micro thyroid carcinoma: records of a clinical hospital from 1991 to 2010

Background: The prevalence of thyroid cancer has increased, particularly in nodules smaller than 10 mm, probably due to the growing use of routine thyroid ultrasound. There is controversy about the biological behavior of micro carcinomas and the relevance of their early detection. Aim: To characterize the clinical presentation of thyroid cancer over 20 years in an University medical center and to evaluate the differences between macro and micro carcinomas. Patients and Methods: We reviewed 1547 surgical biopsy records of thyroid cancer in our institution obtained between 1991 and 2010. Results: We observed a sustained increase in the rate of thyroidectomies for thyroid cancer (per 1000 surgical procedures) in the study period. Papillary, follicular, mixed, medullary and anaplastic carcinomas were observed in 95, 3, 2, 0.5 and 0.1% of biopsies, respectively. The incidence of tumors of less than 10 mm (micro carcinoma) also increased. Those findings were associated with a significant decrease in tumor aggressiveness, determined by a low frequency of surgical margin involvement of thyroid capsule, perithyroid tissue invasion, vascular permeation and lymph node metastases. Conclusions: The increased prevalence of thyroid cancer, especially of micro carcinomas, may reflect the greater use of diagnostic ultrasound or represent a real change in the biological behavior of this disease and our data suggest that further studies are needed to know the impact of early treatment in the outcome of those patients because of the real less histologic agressiveness of micro carcinomas.

Hallazgos anatomopatológicos definitivos en pacientes tiroidectomizados con diagnóstico preoperatorio de neoplasia folicular / Definitive anatomopathological findings in thyroidectomized patients with preoperative diagnosis of follicular neoplasm

Background: The finding of follicular neoplasm, using a FNAP, is an indication for partial or total thyroidectomy, to obtain the definitive malignant or benign histology. Frequently, it is possible to identify significant additional histological diagnosis. Aim: To obtain the definitive histological findings in patients with follicular neoplasm by FNAP. Patients and Method: Transversal analysis of 133 patients that underwent to total thyroidectomy between 2003 and 2009, that filled de requirements for adequate histological assessment. Results: In 33.1 percent of the treated patients the final diagnosis was indeed a follicular neoplasm (adenoma in 26.3 percent and cancer in 6.8 percent). In the 51.9 percent the finding was follicular colloidal hyperplasia and other thyroid cancer in 8.3 percent. The total malignant prevalence in the whole gland was 29.3 percent. Conclusions: The thyroidec-tomy is the treatment of choice and the final diagnostic procedure for these patients. The histological findings of cancer different from follicular not only in the punctioned nodule are a secondary and an additional argument for reinforcing the surgical indication.

Introducción: El hallazgo de una neoplasia folicular por PAAF, obliga a realizar una tiroidectomía parcial o total, para definir la naturaleza maligna o benigna definitiva de la lesión tiroidea. Junto a este diagnóstico preoperatorio se identifican finalmente con alta frecuencia lesiones histológicas adicionales. Objetivo: Conocer y describir los hallazgos anatomopatológicos definitivos que se encuentran en tiroidectomías por neoplasias foliculares diagnosticadas por PAAF. Materiales y Métodos: Revisión transversal de las biopsias definitivas de 133 pacientes sometidos a tiroidectomía total entre 2003 y 2009, que cumplieron los requisitos establecidos para evaluar la histología definitiva del nódulo puncionado y de la glándula tiroides completa. Resultados: En el 33,1 por ciento de los pacientes el diagnóstico definitivo del nódulo puncionado fue efectivamente una neoplasia folicular (adenoma en el 26,3 por ciento y cáncer en el 6,8 por ciento). El 51,9 por ciento correspondió a hiperplasia folicular y el 8,3 por ciento otro cáncer. La prevalencia de malignidad final en la glándula completa fue de un 29,3 por ciento. Conclusiones: Siendo la indicación de tiroidectomía en estos pacientes un tratamiento y procedimiento diagnóstico aceptado y necesario, se concluye que la alta prevalencia de lesiones malignas (29,3 por ciento) tanto en el nódulo puncionado como, adicionalmente, en el resto de la glándula, reforzaría la necesidad de este tratamiento quirúrgico.

Diseño de una escala ecográfica predictora de malignidad en nódulos tiroideos: Comunicación preliminar / An ultrasound score to predict the presence of papillary thyroid carcinoma: Preliminary report

Background: Thyroid nodules are common and associated to a low risk of malignancy. Their clinical assessment usually includes a fine neddle aspiration biopsy (FNAB). Aim To identify ultrasonographic characteristics associated to papillary thyroid carcinoma (PTC) and generate a score that predicts the risk of PTC. Material and methods: Retrospective review of all fine needle aspiration biopsies of the thyroid performed in a lapse of two years. Biopsies that were conclusive for PTC were selected and compared with an equal amount of randomly selected biopsies that disclosed a benign diagnosis. Results: One hundred twenty two biopsies of a total of 1,498 were conclusive for PTC. Univariate analysis showed associations with PTC for the presence of micro-calcifications (Odds ratio (OR) 49.2: 95 percent confidence intervals (CI) 18.7-140.9), solid predominance (OR 25.1; 95 percent CI 6-220), hypoechogenicity (OR 23.5, 95 percent CI 6.5-122.6), irregular borders (OR 17, 95 percent CI 7.2-42.9), lymph node involvement (OR 12.3, 95 percent CI2.7-112), central vascularization (OR 12.2, 95 percent CI 4.8-33.3), local invasion and hyperechogenicity (OR 0.2; CI95 percent CI 0.03-0.6). Multivariate analysis disclosed microcalcifications (OR 28.1; CI 95 percent 8.9-89), hypoechogenicity (OR 9.4; 95 percent CI 1.5-59.5) and irregular borders (OR 4.7; CI 95 percent 1.5-15) as the variables independently associated with the presence of PTC. The prevalence of PTC in the presence of the three variables was 97.6 percent (Likelihood ratio (LR) 45) and 5.4 percent in their absence (LR 0.06). Conclusions: This scale predicts the presence or absence of PTC using simple ultrasound characteristics.

Carcinoma familiar del tiroides no medular (CFTNM): características de presentación en 17 casos / Clinical features of 17 patients with familial non medullary thyroid carcinoma

Background: Papillary thyroid carcinoma can have familial aggregation. Aim: To compare retrospectively familial non medullary thyroid carcinoma (FNMTC) with sporadic papillary thyroid carcinoma (PTC). Material and methods: Retrospective analysis of medical records of patients with thyroid carcinoma. An index case was defined as a subject with the diagnosis of differentiated thyroid carcinoma with one or more first degree relatives with the same type of cancer. Seventeen such patients were identified and were compared with 352 subjects with PTC. Results: The most common affected relatives were sisters. Patients with FNMTC were younger than those with PTC. No differences were observed in gender, single or multiple foci, thyroid capsule involvement, surgical border involvement, number of affected lymph nodes and coexistence of follicular hyperplasia. Patients with FNMTC had smaller tumors and had a nine times more common association with lymphocytic thyroiditis. Five patients with FNMTC had local recurrence during 4.8 years of follow up. Conclusions: Patients with FNMTC commonly have an associated chronic thyroiditis, are younger and have smaller tumors than patients with PTC.

Carcinoide bronquial: estudio clínico patológico de 10 casos / Bronchial carcinoid: a clinical-pathological study of 10 cases

El carcinoide bronquial representa el 1 a 5 por ciento de todos los tumores pulmonares y es el segundo más frecuente de todos los carcinoides. Constituye un grupo de neoplasias con diferenciación neuroendocrina y potencial maligno con invasión local y metástasis. El presente trabajo tiene como objetivos conocer las características clínicas y tipos de carcinoide en nuestra casuística, así como la utilidad diagnóstica de los estudios histopatológicos complementarios. Se recolectaron los casos del periodo 1988-1996 y se estudiaron con técnicas corrientes, inmunohistoquímica con anticuerpos monoclonales contra enolasa neuronal específica (ENE), sinaptofisina (SIN), cromogranina A (CRO-A) y en cuatro casos con microscopía electrónica. Se encontraron diez casos en el período, 5 mujeres y 5 hombres, con edad que varió de 18 a 74 años; 6 casos fueron formas atípicas y 4 típicas. Las localizaciones más frecuentes fueron lóbulo superior izquierdo y lóbulo inferior derecho. el 50 por ciento fueron uninodulares y el 20 por ciento multinodulares. El diagnóstico clínico se planteó en un caso. El 80 por ciento mostró argentafinidad, 70 por ciento argirofilia; 90 por ciento fueron positivos para ENE, 60 por ciento SIN, 70 por ciento CRO-A. Al microscopio electrónico todos mostraron gránulos neuroendocrinos. Los estudios complementarios utilizados permitieron confirmar el diagnóstico. Tanto la microscopia electrónica como el estudio inmunohistoquímico permiten un diagnóstico específico, especialmente cuando se utiliza un panel de anticuerpos
