CD56 is Expressed in Uterine Smooth Muscle Tumors

Abstract: CD56 is used in gynecologic pathology, typically in the context of a neuroendocrine, sex cord or sex cord-like tumor. It has never been studied in uterine smooth muscle tumors, which can potentially enter their differential diagnosis, and thus CD56 positivity could potentially be a pitfall. Thus, the aim of this study was to explore its expression in this category of tumors. Seventy-eight uterine smooth muscle tumors, including 14 leiomyosarcomas, 46 leiomyomas and their variants, 14 smooth muscle tumors of un… Show more

“…And all adjacent slices were stained with hematoxylin and eosin (H&E) based on the basic protocol. The percentage of positive stained was conculcated as follows ( Karpathiou et al, 2021 ): 0 = 0%, 1 = 0–25%, 2 = 26–50%, 3 = 51–75%, 4 = 76–100%. The intensity scoring was conducted as follows: 0 = no staining, 1 = weak, 2 = moderate, 3 = strong.…”

“…The percentage of stained samples that were positive was calculated as 0 = negative, 1 = < 10%, 2 = 10%-49%, and 3 = ≥ 50%. According to the intensity scale, 0 indicates no Frontiers in Genetics frontiersin.org staining, 1 is little, 2 is moderate, and 3 is strong (Karpathiou et al, 2021). The percentage and intensity were multiplied to determine the final results for each section.…”

“…On a similar note, following the identification of SYP as a presynaptic vesicle protein in various neuronal tissues [ 4 ], succeeding studies identified SYP expression in pheochromocytoma and paraganglioma as well as in pancreatic islet cells and NETs [ 5 ]. CD56 (a cell adhesion molecule) and NSE (a glycolytic enzyme) have also been found expressed in various NETs, but the specificity is suboptimal as expression has been reported in unrelated tumors [ 6 , 7 , 8 , 9 , 10 ]. Apart from these markers of neuroendocrine differentiation, immunohistochemistry detecting expression of various hormones related to specific NET types is helpful, such as serotonin in small intestinal and appendiceal NETs and calcitonin in medullary thyroid carcinoma [ 11 ].…”
