ABSTRACT
Objective To summarize the clinical histopatholngical characteristics of extranodal na-sal-type natural killer cell / T cell lymphoma. Methods 21 cases of nasal-type extranodal natural killer cell / T cell lymphoma were studied by retrospective analysis on its connection with their clinical manifesta-tions and histopathological features. Immunohietochemical SP method was used to detect the expression of immunophenotype, virus( EBV), and etc, in 21 cases. Results Capillaries had varied degrees hyperplasi-a in all cases under the microscope. Tumor cells showed definite devastating infiltration around the blood vessels, its infiltrating representation was found below intima and among vessel wall, and multiple mixed in-flammatory cells were found in it as well. Squamous epithelial pseudotumor-like proliferating can be seen in 1 case. All tumor cells'immnnophenotype were T-cell differentiation antigen CD45RO( + ), T-cell related antigen CD56 (+), T-cell particle-associated antigen TIA-1 (+), EBV (+). Conclusion Nasal-type extranodal natural killer cell / T cell lymphoma has characteristic clinical expression and histopathological changes. Accurate diagnosis can be obtained on the basis of its typical clinical expression, pathomorphology changes, immunophenotype and EBV( + ) in situ hybridization.
ABSTRACT
Objective To study the clinicopathological significance of Skp2 and E2F1 in the rhinosinus squamous cell carcinoma and chronic sinusitis. Methods Immunohistochemical method was used to detect the expression of Skp2 and E2F1 in the routinely paraffin-embed-ded sections of specimens from patients with rhinosinus squamoas cell carcinoma (n=49), chronic sinusitis (n=28). Results The expres-sive positive rates and scores of Skp2 and E2F1 in rhinosinus sqnamous cell carcinoma were significantly higher than those in chronic sinusitis (P<0.01). The expression positive rates and scores were significantly decreased in middle-differentiated rhinosinus squamous cell carcino-ma. The maximal diameter of mass was less than 3cm, and no-metastasis of lymphnode or no-infiltration of regional rhinosinus can be found in T1N0M0. While in the low-differentiated rhinosinus squamous cell carcinoma, the maximal diameter of mass was larger than 3cm, and metasta-sis of lymphnode or infiltration of regional rhinosinus can be found(T3N1M0,T3N2M0) (P<0.01). The closely positive correlation was found between the expression of Skp2 and E2F1 in the rhinosinus squamoas cell carcinoma. Conclusions Skp2 and E2F1 might be important biologi-cal markers for carcinogenesis, progression, biological behaviors and prognosis of rhinosinus squamous cell carcinoma.
