Using serial frozen sections, monoclonal antibodies and an indirect immunoperoxidase method, 13 fibroadenomas (FA) and 3 cystosarcomas phyllodes (CSP) were analyzed for the expression of Egp34, HEA319-antigen, leucocyte differentiation antigens CD10, CD30, CD57, CD72, CDw75, and CD77, epidermal
Biochemical study of fibroepithelial tumors of the female breast showed presence of progesterone receptor (PgR) in all five cystosarcoma phyllodes (two malignant, three benign), and in 11 of 13 fibroadenomas tested. Estrogen receptor (ER) was detected in only one of five cystosarcomas and 2 of 13
A specific receptor for progesterone has been found in a cystosarcoma phyllodes, as determined by charcoal adsorption and sucrose gradient analysis. Similar assays for estrogen receptors were negative. The tumor consisted almost entirely of stroma that contained the progesterone receptors. The
OBJECTIVE
To ascertain the hormonal receptor profiles of the epithelial and stromal components of phyllodes tumors (PTs) and determine their relationship with stromal proliferation.
METHODS
Eighty-two PTs (50 benign, 22 borderline, and 10 malignant) were studied. Automated immunohistochemical
BACKGROUND
Conventionally growth pattern, stromal overgrowth, stromal cellularity and stromal mitotic activity are the main parameters in the grading of phyllodes tumors (PTs). Recent studies revealed that both p53 and Ki-67 expressions are correlated with grade of PTs of the breast. Expression of
Phyllodes tumor occurring in the vulva is extremely rare; only 6 cases have been previously reported in the literature. The histogenetic origin of this tumor is controversial as it is being debated whether such lesions evolve from ectopic breast tissue, cutaneous apocrine glands, and most recently,
The present lesion was the first reported case of a benign intracystic phyllodes tumor in the inguinal region. We report the case of a 51-year-old female patient who presented with an inguinal mass. A clinical diagnosis of malignant lymphoma was considered in this case. The resected tumor was
Phyllodes tumors of the vulva are rare proliferations that share morphologic similarities with breast neoplasms. Their histogenetic origin is elusive and may be associated with specialized mammary-like glands of the vulva. Because of their rarity, the clinical and pathologic features,
A 64-year postmenopausal woman had noticed a left breast lump 5 months before presentation and was admitted due to increasing tumor size. Physical examination showed a well demarcated, movable mass 5 cm in diameter in the upper outer quadrant of the left breast. The lesion was not painful. She had
Six cases of cystosarcoma phylloides were evaluated by ultrastructure and steroid receptor analysis. Electron microscopy of the lesions supported previous reports of a heterogeneous tumor consisting of pleomorphic mesenchyme and normal or proliferative epithelium. In each case estrogen and
The pattern of estrogen (ER) and progesterone receptors (PR) and their relationship to histo- and cyto-pathological parameters has been studied in 97 cases of benign breast disease and benign phyllode tumors (95 women, of whom 76 were premenopausal, and 2 men). Total (cytosolic + nuclear) ER and PR
Human telomerase reverse transcriptase (hTERT), the catalytic subunit of telomerase, is very closely associated with telomerase activity. Telomerase has been implicated in cellular immortalization and carcinogenesis. In situ detection of hTERT will aid in determining the localization of
The patient was 80 years old when she initially presented with a left breast mass. Originally, a needle biopsy showed benign stromal and ductal cells. Five years later, the breast mass increased in size and a core needle biopsy showed a biphasic intraductal papillomatous tumor with cellular stroma.
Seven cases of cystosarcoma phyllodes were studied. All but one of the patients were premenopausal. Histologic appearance permitted us to classify 5 as low-grade and 2 as high-grade tumors; 40% of the low-grade tumors were estrogen-receptor-positive (ER-positive), 100% were progesterone
BACKGROUND
Mammary phyllodes tumor is an uncommon stromal-epithelial neoplasm with a reported incidence of 0.3% to 0.5% of female breast tumors. Sudden, rapid growth of a mammary phyllodes tumor with intratumoral hemorrhage was noted in a 45-year-old woman after menstrual induction with progesterone
