ABSTRACT

Ewing's sarcoma [ES], primitive neuroectodermal tumour [PNET] and neuroblastoma [NB] are most commonly considered in the differential diagnosis of small blue round cell tumor of infancy and childhood. The differential diagnosis between these over- lapped tumours is of utmost importance for therapy and prognosis. The aim of this study was to assess the morphological, immunohistochemical and ultrastructural diagnostic features of these overlapping tumors. The study was done on 18 cases including eight cases of Ewing's sarcoma, ES [seven bone and one soft tissue], three cases of primitive neuroectodermal tumor [PNET] and seven cases of neuroblastoma, NB [all were primary tumors]. ES was diagnosed by its positivity for CD 99, the presence of glycogen either histochemically or by EM along with the classic morphology of ovoid cells lacking rosettes and spindle cell pattern. NB was diagnosed by its positivity for neuron specific enolase [NSE] and negativity for CD 99, the presence of neurites, neurosecretory granules and neuropils by EM along with the rosettes by light microscopy and the absence of glycogen both histochemically and by EM. PNET had some features of ES as the presence of glycogen and positivity for CD 99 as well as some features of NB as the positivity for NSE and the presence of neurosecretory granules and neurites as well as the occasional presence of rosettes by light microscopy

ABSTRACT

Los tumores del sistema periférico en oftalmología son poco frecuentes y algunos excepcionales. Los derivados de las simpaticogonias o neuroblastos constituyen el espectro de los neuroblastomas, ganglioneuroblastomas y ganglioneuromas; los derivados de los troncos nerviosos son los neurofibromas, schwannomas y neuromas. Los paragangliomas y quimiodectomas son excepcionales y el tumor de tritón es una verdadera rareza. Algunas de estas neoplasias se encuentran formando parte de síndromes complejos con clara connotación heredofamiliar. Se realiza una revisión clinicopatológica cuidadosa de estas entidades.

ABSTRACT

Os objetivos deste estudo foram analisar uma série de neuroblastomas metastáticos na medula óssea e avaliar a sua imunorreatividade para enolase neurônio-específica (NSE) e "protein gene product 9,5" (PGP 9,5). Estudaram-se retrospectivamente 64 biópsias de medula óssea de 44 pacientes, das quais 32 apresentavam metástases de neuroblastoma. A neoplasia era constituída predominantemente por células em diferenciação em 21 casos (65,6 por cento) e por células indiferenciadas em 11 (34,4 por cento). A imuno-histoquímica foi positiva em 28 biópsias (87,5 por cento). Em neoplasias em diferenciação a maior parte da massa tumoral era imunorreativa para ambos os anti-soros, enquanto que nas neoplasias indiferenciadas não se observou imunorreatividade em até 50 por cento da massa tumoral. Concluímos que, nos casos de estadiamento da neoplasia, a análise pelos métodos rotineiros mostrou acuidade diagnóstica idêntica à da imuno-histoquímica. Este método foi útil na detecção de neoplasias residuais após o tratamento.

ABSTRACT

Se estudian en nuestro laboratorio las biopsias de 14 casos de tumores en niños. Se someten éstas a una doble fijación con glutaraldehído y ácido ósmico y se incluyen en araldita. Se observan los cortes ultrafinos después de recibir contraste con acetato de uranilo y citrato de plomo en un microscopio electrónico Hitachi H-300. Se expresa que los resultados obtenidos, al estudiar la ultraestructura de estos tumores, permite confirmar el diagnóstico histológico en algunos casos y llegar a conclusiones diagnósticas en otros, en los que se plantearon varias alternativas sobre la histogénesis del tumor, así como en los que el diagnóstico no fue posible por microscopia de luz. Se concluye que debe difundirse el uso del microscopio electrónico en el campo de la patología tumoral pediátrica en nuestro medio
