Clinicopathologic Significance of P63, Maspin and MMP-2 Expression in Mucoepidermoid Carcinoma
Background and Aim: Mucoepidermoid carcinoma (MEC) is the most common malignant neoplasm of the salivary glands with complex histopathologic features and clinical behavior. The aim of this study was to evaluate the clinicopathologic significance of p63, Maspin and matrix metalloproteinase (MMP)-2 expression in MEC. Materials and Methods: In this retrospective study, immunohistochemical stain...
متن کاملSclerosing Mucoepidermoid Carcinoma of the Parotid Gland
Introduction: Mucoepidermoid carcinoma represents one of the most common malignant salivary gland tumors.However, the sclerosing morphologic variant is extremely rare with only 23 reported cases in the English-language literature since it was discovered in 1987. Case Report: Herein, we describe another case that was diagnosed in a 25-year-old woman presenting with a posterior auricular mass, ...
متن کاملMUC 4 ( mucin 4 , cell surface associated )
Hugo: MUC4 Other names: sv0-MUC4 Location: 3q29 Note: MUC4 belongs to the human mucin family, and more specifically to the subgroup of the membraneanchored mucin. It is an O-glycoprotein that can extend up to 2 micrometer over the cell membrane. It is suggested that MUC4 is translated as a single precursor polypeptide, which is further cleaved at a GDPH site in two subunits, MUC4a and MUC4b. MU...
متن کاملfascin expression in pleomorphic adenoma and mucoepidermoid carcinoma
background: salivary gland tumors constitute an important part of oral and maxillofacial pathology. pleomorphic adenoma (pa) and mucoepidermoid carcinoma (mec) are the most common benign and malignant salivary gland tumors. fascin is an actin-bundling protein that increases the motility of normal and transformed epithelial cells. the aims of the study were to determine the expression of fascin ...
متن کاملMUC 16 ( mucin 16 , cell surface associated )
As per the present available information, there is a discrepancy regarding the total number of exons present in MUC16 genomic DNA. This discrepancy is due to the absence/presence of some of the genomic sequences (particularly for the repeat regions) in the available genomic databases. The terminal nine exons on both 5' and 3' ends code for the aminoand carboxyterminal domains of MUC16, respecti...
