Abstract

Background: Endometrioid endometrial carcinoma (EEC) is a prevalent gynecological malignancy whose prognosis is influenced by factors including histopathological grade and lymphovascular invasion (LVI). Angiogenesis, crucial for tumor growth and metastasis, is significantly mediated by vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF). This study aimed to investigate the expression of VEGF in EEC and its correlation with histopathological differentiation and LVI. Methods: This observational analytical study employed a cross-sectional design using 36 archival paraffin block samples of EEC diagnosed between January 2022 and December 2024 at the Anatomical Pathology Laboratory of Dr. M. Djamil General Hospital Padang. Cases were selected via simple random sampling from a population of 59. Histopathological grade (Grade 1, 2, or 3 based on FIGO architectural and nuclear criteria) and LVI (negative, focal, or substantial) were re-evaluated from Hematoxylin-Eosin (H&E) stained slides. VEGF expression was assessed by immunohistochemistry, scored semiquantitatively based on the percentage of positive tumor cells and staining intensity, and categorized as low or high. Data were analyzed using Chi-square tests, with p<0.05 considered statistically significant. Results: The mean age of patients was 54.36 years, with the highest prevalence in the 51-60 age group (41.7%). Grade 3 tumors were most common (38.9%), followed by Grade 2 (33.3%) and Grade 1 (27.8%). LVI was present in 47.2% of cases, predominantly focal (38.9%). High VEGF expression was observed in 58.3% of EEC cases. A statistically significant association was found between high VEGF expression and higher histopathological grade (p=0.000), with 66.7% of Grade 3 tumors showing high VEGF expression. No significant association was found between VEGF expression and LVI (p=0.080). Conclusion: High VEGF expression significantly correlated with higher histopathological grades in EEC, suggesting its role in tumor aggressiveness and dedifferentiation. However, a significant association with LVI was not established in this cohort. VEGF expression warrants further investigation as a potential prognostic biomarker and therapeutic target in EEC.

Abstract

Malignant peripheral nerve sheath tumor (MPNST) is a rare and aggressive group of neoplasms arising from the peripheral nervous system sheath cells (Schwann cells or perineurial cells). Malignant peripheral nerve sheath tumors are typically seen in patients aged 20–50 years, and the most common sites are the trunk and extremities. This case highlights the diagnostic complexity and distinguishes MPNST from undifferentiated carcinoma. We present a case report of a 59-year-old male patient who presented with a rapidly growing mass in the right shoulder for six months. Clinical examination on his shoulder showed a solid mass, lobulated and ulcerated, and an irregular margin measuring 16x12x5 cm. A thoracic MRI revealed a large mass, fusiform and lobulated, with dimensions of 15.02 x 15.81 x 12.65 cm. The patient underwent surgical incision biopsy of the mass. Histopathological and immunohistochemical examinations with S100 and cytokeratin (CK) markers were performed on this patient with MPNST results. The immunoprofile of MPNST showed focal positive staining for S100 marker and negative staining for CK marker. The diagnosis of malignant peripheral nerve sheath tumor can be more challenging if the histopathological examination resembles a feature of undifferentiated carcinoma, like lobulated pattern and clustering of cells with round-oval nuclei. The role of immunohistochemical examination is very important to rule out differential diagnoses.

Abstract

Background Adenoid cystic carcinoma is a malignant salivary gland tumor with unique features, including slow growth, progressive, poor prognosis, recurrence propensity, and perineural invasion tendency. SOX10 is a transcription factor expressed in the majority of tumors. SOX10 overexpression was hypothesized to play an important role in tumor-stroma interactions, especially perineural invasion and histopathological patterns.   Method A cross-sectional study was performed using 30 blocks of formalin-fixed embedded specimens previously diagnosed as salivary gland adenoid cystic carcinomas. Perineural invasion and histopathological patterns were evaluated followed by immunohistochemical staining to evaluate SOX10 expression. The staining intensity and proportion of positively stained cells in both tumor and stroma cells were grouped into high and low expression levels. Chi-square tests were used for statistical analysis.   Result The cribriform pattern was the most common histopathological pattern in both high and low SOX10 expression. The majority of tumors with high SOX10 expression (66.67% in stroma cells and 73.33% in tumor cells) were found to have more perineural invasion.   Conclusion There was a tendency for perineural invasion in tumors with high SOX10 expression, although this was not statistically significant. There was no significant association between SOX10 expression and histopathological pattern.

Abstract

Latar Belakang: Penyakit Hirschsprung merupakan kelainan bawaan yang ditandai dengan tidak adanya sel ganglion di lapisan submukosa atau muskularis propria dari kolon distal dan rektum. Prevalensi kejadiannya 1:5000 kelahiran hidup di populasi umum. Diagnosis pasti penyakit Hirschsprung adalah dengan pemeriksaan histopatologi untuk menentukan adanya sel ganglion dan serabut saraf, tetapi pada sampel jaringan dengan lapisan submukosa yang tidak adekuat dapat sulit untuk menentukan sel ganglion dan serabut saraf. Untuk mengatasi masalah ini dapat dilakukan pemeriksaan imunohistokimia Calretinin dan Choline Transporter. Calretinin, merupakan protein pengikat kalsium yang terlibat dalam pensinyalan kalsium. Calretinin tidak diekspresikan pada segmen aganglionik dan bersifat imunopositif pada sel ganglion atau serabut saraf kolon normal. Choline Transporter merupakan penanda alternatif untuk saraf kolinergik yang efektif dalam mengidentifikasi kasus penyakit Hirschsprung dan secara kualitatif mirip dengan Asetilkolinesterase. Tujuan: penelitian ini bertujuan untuk mengetahui hubungan Calretinin dengan keberadaan sel ganglion dan Choline Transporter dengan keberadaan serabut saraf dalam menegakkan diagnosis penyakit Hirschsprung. Metode: Penelitian ini merupakan penelitian cross sectional dengan sampel sebanyak 70 kasus penyakit Hirschsprung yang telah didiagnosis di Laboratorium Patologi Anatomi RSUP Dr. M. Djamil Padang 2021-2022. Sampel diperoleh secara simple random sampling dari blok paraffin. Dilakukan penilaian ulang pada slaid untuk menilai gambaran histopatologis. Ekspresi Calretinin dan Choline Transporter dilihat dengan pemeriksaan imunohistokimia. Untuk mengetahui korelasi dilakukan analisis statistik bivariat menggunakan uji chi-square dengan tingkat kemaknaan p<0,05. Hasil: Dari 70 kasus, didapatkan ekspresi Calretinin negatif pada 28 kasus (80%) dan memiliki hubungan yang bermakna dengan keberadaan sel ganglion (p = 0,003). Didapatakan ekspresi Choline Transporter positif pada 29 kasus(82,86%) dan memiliki hubungan yang bermakna dengan keberadaan serabut saraf (p = 0,000). Kesimpulan: Penelitian ini menyimpulkan bahwa terdapat hubungan yang bermakna antara ekspresi Calretinin dengan keberadaan sel ganglion dan ekspresi Choline Transporter berhubungan dengan serabut saraf.

Abstract

Introduction: Miscarriage is a reflection of the low quality of health in pregnant women. The incidence of miscarriage in the world accounts for 23 million (15%) of the 130 million births per year and up to 80% of miscarriages occur in the first trimester of pregnancy. Miscarriage will affect a woman's social, physical, and psychological. The complexity of the negative impact of miscarriage makes it necessary to pay special attention. Biomarker examination is needed to more accurately identify pregnancies at risk of miscarriage before the appearance of clinical symptoms. The use of fetal fibronectin (fFN) levels have been used as a marker of unexpected labor and as evidence of premature rupture of the fetal membranes. Normally fFN can be detected in cervical and vaginal secretions at <20 weeks gestation. The presence of fFN at >22 weeks gestation indicates disruption of the uteroplacental surface. Therefore, if screening for fibronectin levels using the Enzyme-Linked Immunosorbent Assay (ELISA) test can be carried out in the first trimester of pregnancy, there is a high possibility that miscarriage can be prevented.Method: The type of research is analytical observational research with a cross-sectional research design. The stored samples were examined for fibronectin levels using the ELISA test, which included 21 blood serum samples from normal pregnancy patients in the first trimester and 21 miscarriage samples.Results: The results of the ELISA test produced an average first-trimester normal pregnancy fibronectin level of 118.8 ± 18.4 ng/mL while the miscarriage fibronectin level was 208.2 ± 152.0 ng/mL. Data analysis using the Mann-Whitney test obtained a p-value = 0.138, which means there was no significant difference in fibronectin levels between normal pregnancy in the first trimester and miscarriage.Conclusion: This study concludes that fibronectin levels are not specific biomarkers in detecting miscarriage in the first trimester of pregnancy.
