 Abstract
 PDF
- The origin of osteoclast-like giant cell tumor (OGCT) of the salivary gland has been debated because the prototypic cells of osteoclast-like cells and mononuclear stromal cells are largely unexplained in this gland. Bone marrow-derived CD14+ and CD45+ monocyte-derived multipotential cells (CD14+/CD45+ MOMC) may be one of the possible origins of OGCTs of salivary glands, which have never been explored in salivary OGCTs. We present a case of OGCT accompanied with carcinoma ex pleomorphic adenoma in the parotid gland of a 67-year-old Korean female. The tumor presented as a rapidly growing cervical mass comprising a central area of carcinoma ex pleomorphic adenoma and a peripheral circumferential area of OGCT. The immunohistochemical staining pattern was phenotypically consistent with bone marrow-derived CD14+/CD45+ MOMC. This case is the first report of a salivary OGCT in Korea.

Abstract
PDF
- Paraduodenal pancreatitis (PP) is a rare, distinct form of chronic pancreatitis, and it is related to alcohol abuse in middle-aged men. A 36-year-old man with a history of chronic recurrent pancreatitis for 4 years and alcohol abuse for 15 years presented with abdominal pain. Computed tomography revealed a multilocular cystic mass 3.2 x 3 x 3 cm in size and it was located within the muscular layer of the duodenal wall. The cysts were lined by a single layer of eosinophilic cuboidal epithelial cells that stained positively for mucin (MUC)1, MUC6, cytokeratin (CK)7 and CK19 and they stained negatively for MUC2, MUC5AC and CK5/6. Mild, chronic inflammatory reaction around the cystic wall, Brunner's gland hyperplasia and several clusters of heterotopic pancreatic tissue were noted. We report here on a case of PP and we demonstrated that the pancreatitis was of pancreatic ductal cell origin according to the MUC and CK expression patterns we observed on the immunohistochemical analysis.

Abstract
PDF
- BACKGROUND
E2F1 plays a critical role in the G1-to-S phase transition by inducing various genes that encode S phase-activating proteins and that modulate such diverse cellular functions as DNA synthesis, mitosis and apoptosis.
The purpose of this study was to assess the E2F1 expression in relation to the clinicopathologic parameters and other tumor markers in gastrointestinal stromal tumors.
METHODS
Immunohistochemical stainings for obtaining the E2F1, p53, and Ki-67 labeling indices were performed on a tissue microarray of 72 gastrointestinal stromal tumor specimens. The clinicopathologic parameters that were analyzed including the risk grade system by Miettinen et al.
and the disease-free survival (DFS) rate.
RESULTS
1) An E2F1 expression was correlated with a larger tumor size, a p53 expression and a shorter period of DFS (p=0.014, p=0.007, and p=0.039). 2) A p53 expression was significantly associated with a high risk grade, a larger tumor size, high mitotic counts and a shorter period of DFS (p=0.003, p=0.044, p<0.001, and p<0.0001). 3) A high-risk grade and the epithelioid type were significantly associated with a shorter period of DFS (p=0.0006 and p=0.0008).
CONCLUSIONS
E2F1, as well as p53, may be a potentially novel independent prognostic factor for predicting a worse outcome for those patients suffering with Gastrointestinal stromal tumors.
