Primary Cutaneous Anaplastic Large Cell Lymphoma—A Review of Clinical, Morphological, Immunohistochemical, and Molecular Features
(MDPI, 2023)
;
Pina-Oviedo, Sergio
Primary cutaneous anaplastic large cell lymphoma (ALCL) is the second most common cutaneous T-cell lymphoma after mycosis fungoides and belongs to the spectrum of cutaneous CD30+ T-cell lymphoproliferative disorders. Although primary cutaneous ALCL usually presents as a localized nodule or papule with or without ulceration, multifocal lesions may occur in up to 20% of cases. Histologically, primary cutaneous ALCL consists of a diffuse dermal infiltrate of medium to large anaplastic/pleomorphic cells with abundant amphophilic-to-eosinophilic cytoplasm, horseshoe-shaped nuclei, strong and diffuse expression of CD30, and with focal or no epidermotropism. The neoplastic infiltrate may show angiocentric distribution and may extend to the subcutis. Patients with localized or multifocal disease have a similar prognosis with a 10-year overall survival rate of 90%. Approximately 30% of primary cutaneous ALCLs harbor a DUSP22 (6p25.3) gene rearrangement that results in decreased expression of this dual-specific phosphatase, decreased STAT3 activation, and decreased activity of immune and autoimmune-mediated mechanisms regulated by T-cells. © Cancers

Immunohistochemistry in Historical Perspective: Knowing the Past to Understand the Present
(2021)
Immunohistochemistry is an extraordinary and extensively used technique whereby antibodies are used to detect antigens in cells within a tissue section. It has numerous applications in medicine, particularly in cancer diagnosis. It was Albert Hewett Coons, Hugh J Creech, Norman Jones, and Ernst Berliner who conceptualized and first implemented the procedure of immunofluorescence in 1941. They used fluorescein isothiocyanate (FITC)-labelled antibodies to localize pneumococcal antigens in infected tissues. Since then, with improvement and development of protein conjugation, enzyme labels have been introduced, such as peroxidase and alkaline phosphatase. The history of immunohistochemistry (IHC) combines physiology, immunology, biochemistry, and the work of various Nobel Prize laureates. From von Behring who was awarded de first Nobel Prize in 1901 for his work on serum therapy to the 1984 Nobel Prize for the discovery of monoclonal antibodies by Milstein, Kohler, and Jerne, IHC is a story of cooperation and collaboration which led to the development of this magnificent technique that is used daily in anatomical pathology laboratories worldwide. © Springer Nature.

Análisis histopatológico e inmunohistoquímico del tumor de células granulares. Estudios de 12 casos con una breve nota histórica
(2019)
;
Frías-Soria, Christian Lisette
Introduction and objective: Granular cell tumour (GCT) is a benign neoplasm of neural/schwannian origin, usually presenting as a single asymptomatic lesion, mainly located in the dermis and subcutaneous tissue or submucosa, although multiple tumours may occur. Microscopically, GCTs are composed of large cells with abundant eosinophilic, granular cytoplasm arranged in sheets, nests, cords or trabeculae. Based on the cytological characteristics and the presence of necrosis, three types are recognized: benign, atypical and malignant. We aim to present the cytological and immunohistochemical characteristics of 12 granular cell tumours. Materials and methods: 12 cases of GCT were selected from the consultation files of one of the authors (COH) The paraffin embedded tissue was processed for immunostaining with S-100 protein, calretinin, CD68, α-inhibin, PGP9.5, CD57 (Leu7), CD63 (NKI / C3), Gap43 (growth-associated protein-43), SOX10, TFE-3 and Ki-67. © Revista Española de Patología
