Myxoid Adrenocortical Neoplasms

Abstract: The histopathologic features of 10 myxoid adrenocortical neoplasms were analyzed, and epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) expression, EGFR gene copy number, and EGFR gene mutations in the 10 tumors were detected by using immunohistochemical analysis, fluorescence in situ hybridization, and the Scorpion Amplification Refractory Mutation System (DxS, Manchester, England), respectively. Histologically, all 10 tumors varied in their myxoid composition, ranging from 20% to 95%. EGFR protein overexpression was m… Show more

“…The EGF receptor belongs to the ErbB family of TKRs and is involved in cell proliferation and survival. Downstream signalling pathways include Ras/Raf/MEK and STAT cascades [81]. Kotoula et al performed a study focused on mutations in the EGFR gene, which were detected in its TK domain in relatively small numbers (11%) of carcinomas [82].…”
