ABSTRACT
Purpose:
To evaluate the diagnostic utility of detection of Cytokeratin 19 (CK19), b-100 protein and epithelial membrane antigen ( EMA) in thyroid papillary carcinoma, follicular carcinoma and papillary hyperplasia.Methods:
65 thyroid lesions were stained immunohistochemically for CK19, S-100 protein and EMA.Results:
CK19, S-100 and EMA are negative in all papillary hyperplasia. CK19 expression was strong and diffuse in 100% of papillary carcinoma including the follicular variant of papillary carcinoma, and was positive in 22% of follicular carcinoma. S-100 and EMA were respectively present in 61% and 100% of classic papillary carcinoma, in 38% and 54% of follicular variant of papillary carcinoma and in 44% and 11 % of follicular carcinoma.Conclusions:
Our observations suggest that the expression of CK19, in combination with S-100 and EMA expression, is helpful in the diagnosis of thyroid lesions. CK19 is a valuable marker in the distinction of papillary carcinomas from papillary hyperplasia.
