Expression of cyclooxygenase-2 in melanocytic skin lesions by immunohistochemistry
Introduction: cyclooxygenase-2 (COX-2) is involved in pathogenesis of various tumors and possibly malignant skin tumors including malignant melanoma; however, there is not enough information about COX-2 expression in benign melanocytic lesions. In the present study we compared the expression levels of COX-2 in malignant melanoma and benign melanocytic lesions. Method: In this analytical study, ...
متن کاملUse of Immunohistochemistry in Melanocytic Lesions Examination of Sentinel Lymph Nodes in Patients with Melanoma
Melanocytic lesions constitute a very important topic in Pathology, not only for dermatopathologists but also for general pathologists. In this talk we will review how we apply immunohistochemistry as a tool to help in the differential diagnosis of melanocytic lesions. And we would like to stress that, as in other fields of pathology, immunohistochemistry should be considered as an adjunct to t...

متن کاملVS38 immunostaining in melanocytic lesions.
AIMS To investigate the immunoreactivity of a range of melanocytic lesions, both benign and malignant, with the monoclonal antibody VS38. This was recently described as a marker of reactive/neoplastic plasma cells and, therefore, is useful in the diagnosis of plasmacytoma/myeloma and lymphomas with plasmacytic differentiation. This study was prompted by the recent observation that a plasmacytoi...
متن کاملExpression of calcyclin in human melanocytic lesions.
When comparing two subsequent stages of melanocytic tumor progression we identified calcyclin as a new potential progression marker, the expression of which was correlated with metastatic behavior of various human melanoma cell lines in nude mice. In this study, we describe a good correlation between RNA and protein levels in the xenografts of these cell lines and extended these experiments to ...
