Expression of GATA-3 in Testicular and Gynecologic Mesothelial Neoplastic and Non-neoplastic Tissues.

GATA-3 expression in testicular/gynecologic mesothelial neoplasms and benign mesothelia have not been completely investigated. We graded GATA-3, calretinin, and WT1 staining in 20 adenomatoid tumors [9/20 (para)testicular and 11/20 tubal/uterine] and 38 normal mesothelia (20/38 tunica vaginalis and 18/38 fallopian tubes) as either 0 (≤5%), +1 (>5% and <25%), +2 (≥25% and ≤50%), and +3 (>50%). Adenomatoid tumor GATA-3 staining: 2 urologic cases were positive (2/9, +3 and +1), no gynecologic cases were positive (0/11), and all were positive for WT1/calretinin (20/20,+2 to +3).
