"Aberrant" expression of skeletal muscle markers in neuroendocrine carcinomas: a significant diagnostic pitfall.
In this study, we investigate the expression of muscle markers, including the specific skeletal muscle markers myogenin and myoD1, in neuroendocrine carcinomas (NECs). The study included 23 NECs from various sites (14 small cell NECs and 9 large cell NECs). These were stained with desmin, myogenin and myoD1. Positive staining with at least one muscle marker was observed in 14 cases (61%). 8 (35%), 8 (35%) and 11 (48%) of the cases were positive with desmin, myogenin and myoD1 respectively. In most, but not all, cases positive staining was focal generally involving < 10% of tumour cells. Expression of muscle markers is not uncommon in NECs. This represents an important diagnostic pitfall of which pathologists should be aware. In reporting this phenomenon, we speculate on the pathogenesis of this "aberrant" expression of muscle markers.
期刊介绍：
Manuscripts of original studies reinforcing the evidence base of modern diagnostic pathology, using immunocytochemical, molecular and ultrastructural techniques, will be welcomed. In addition, papers on critical evaluation of diagnostic criteria but also broadsheets and guidelines with a solid evidence base will be considered. Consideration will also be given to reports of work in other fields relevant to the understanding of human pathology as well as manuscripts on the application of new methods and techniques in pathology. Submission of purely experimental articles is discouraged but manuscripts on experimental work applicable to diagnostic pathology are welcomed. Biomarker studies are welcomed but need to abide by strict rules (e.g. REMARK) of adequate sample size and relevant marker choice. Single marker studies on limited patient series without validated application will as a rule not be considered. Case reports will only be considered when they provide substantial new information with an impact on understanding disease or diagnostic practice.
