RESUMO
Objective To investigate the clinicopathologic features and the expression of p53,PCNA and Bcl-2in tricholemmal carcinoma.Methods Skin lesions were studied with HE staining and immunohis-tochemical markers for p53,PCNA and Bcl-2(S-P method)in22cases of skin tricholemmal carcinoma.Both morphological manifestations and immunohistochemical expression were observed.Results There were15fe-male and7male cases of tricholemmal carcinoma with the ages of40-79y,including16cases whose scalp were involved.Positive staining of p53,PCNA and Bcl-2was found in72%,100%and63%of patients,re-spectively.The positive cells of p53were diffusely distributed.PCNA-positive cells were increased along with the degree of differentiation.Significant differences of Bcl-2expression were found among the various degrees of differentiation(P
