Purpose: To identify an immunohistochemical pattern of epithelial markers in granular, lattice and Avellino corneal dystrophies.
Methods: Twenty-two corneal buttons, diagnosed as lattice (17), Avellino (4) and granular (1) underwent immunohistochemical studies of cytokeratins (CKs) on paraffin-embedded sections (group I). Monoclonal antibodies for pan-CK (AE1/AE3) and CKs 3/12, 5/6, 8, 18 and 19 were used.
Purpose: To provide insight into the relationship between cyclooxygenase-2 (COX-2) expression and histopathologic features of retinoblastoma specimens treated either by primary or secondary enucleation.
Design: Laboratory investigation.
Methods: Twenty-five retinoblastoma specimens received between 1994 and 2003 were retrieved for this study from the Ocular Pathology Registry, Federal University of São Paulo, Brazil and the Henry C.
Purpose: To investigate the expression of P-glycoprotein (P-gp) in retinoblastoma specimens enucleated as a primary treatment or after conservative treatment and to correlate this expression with histopathological tumor features.
Methods: Retrospective analysis was performed on retinoblastoma specimens obtained consecutively between 1993 and 2003 by enucleation either as primary treatment (group I) or after the failure of conservative treatment (group II). Sections from the formalin-fixed, paraffin-embedded specimens were stained with hematoxylin and eosin.
Background: Sebaceous carcinoma of the eyelid can clinically mimic benign conditions, such as recurrent chalazion and inflammation and histopathologically squamous cell and basal cell carcinoma (BCC). This retrospective study was undertaken as an attempt to improve the characterization and consequently the diagnosis of these tumors.
Methods: Retrospective analysis was performed on eyelid specimens diagnosed as sebaceous carcinoma retrieved from Henry C.
