TÓM TẮT Đặt vấn đề: Dựa vào tính chất các mẫu dịch khoang cơ thể có hiện diện các mảnh DNA lơ lửng giúp thực hiện chẩn đoán đột biến EGFR. Từ nguyên lý này, chúng tôi thực hiện nghiên cứu với các mục tiêu sau: Khảo sát tỉ lệ dương tính đột biến EGFR trong các mẫu dịch khoang cơ thể; và hảo sát tỉ lệ chẩn đoán đột biến gen EGFR trong mẫu bệnh phẩm mô học đúc khối parafin với mẫu dịch khoang cơ thể trên cùng một bệnh nhân. Phương pháp nghiên cứu: Hồi cứu, thống kê mô tả cắt ngang. Các trường hợp ung thư phổi không tế bào nhỏ được chẩn đoán đột biến EGFR bằng mẫu bệnh phẩm đúc khối paraffine với Test EGFR Version 1 và mẫu bệnh phẩm dịch các khoang cơ thể (Dịch màng phổi, dịch màng tim, dịch màng bụng, dịch não tủy) với Test EGFR Version 2. Kết quả: Có 117 ca bệnh trong nghiên cứu: Kết quả chẩn đoán đột biến gen EGFR trên mẫu mô học đúc khối paraffine: (+) 49 ca # 41,88%, tương đương với các thống kê ở trong nước và thế giới (Châu Á). Đa số vẫn là hai loại đột biến nhạy thuốc TKIs Exon 19 Deletion và Exon 21 L858R (53% và 23%). Kết quả chẩn đoán đột biến EGFR trên các mẫu dịch khoang cơ thể: Đa số mẫu dịch khoang cơ thể thực hiện chẩn đoán đột biến EGFR là dịch màng phổi (91 ca # 77,77%). Tỉ lệ phát hiện đột biến trong mẫu dịch màng phổi và dịch não tủy cao nhất (29,67% & 83,33%). So sánh tỉ lệ phát hiện đột biến EGFR trên mẫu dịch khoang cơ thể (35 /117 ca # 29,91%) với tỉ lệ phát hiện trên mẫu mô học thấp hơn có ý nghĩa thống kê (29,91% ↔ 41,88% với P = 0,0125). So sánh với các nghiên cứu khác trên thế giới cho thấy đa số các nghiên cứu cho kết quả cao hơn so với nghiên cứu tại bệnh viện Phạm Ngọc Thạch. Kết luận: Khảo sát chẩn đoán đột biến EGFR trong dịch các khoang cơ thể, đặc biệt trong các mẫu dịch có quá ít tế bào ác tính, kết quả dương tính 29,91%. Tỉ lệ cao nhất trong dịch màng phổi và dịch não tủy. Tuy nhiên, khả năng phát hiện đột biến EGFR trong các dịch khoang cơ thể thấp hơn so với trên các bệnh phẩm mô học (29.91% < 41,88%). Và đô tương đồng giữa hai loại bệnh phẩm này là 71,42%. Cần nâng cao kỹ thuật thực hiện chẩn đoán đột biến EGFR trong mẫu dịch khoang cơ thể với các phương pháp có độ nhạy cao hơn: ddPCR, NGS… ABSTRACT DIAGNOSTIC EGFR GENE MUTATIONS IN NON SMALL CELL LUNG CANCER WITH SPECIMENS OF BODY CAVITY FLUIDS Introduction: Based on the nature of the body cavity fluid samples, there is the presence of suspended DNA fragments that help to make an EGFR mutation diagnosis. From this principle, we have conducted this research with the following objectives: Investigate the positive rate of EGFR mutations in body cavity fluid samples, and explore the diagnosis rate of EGFR gene mutations in paraffin block histology samples with body cavity fluid samples in the same patients. Methods: In a retrospective study, cases of NSCLC were diagnosed with EGFR mutations by paraffin block histological specimens with Test EGFR Version 1 and body cavity fluid samples (pleural fluid, pericardial fluid, peritoneal fluid, cerebrospinal fluid) with Test EGFR Version 2. Results: There are 117 cases in the research: Results of EGFR mutation diagnosis on paraffin block histology: (+) 49 cases # 41.88%, equivalent to statistics in Vietnam and the World (Asia). The majority are still two types of drug - sensitive mutants TKIs: Exon 19 Deletion and Exon 21 L858R (53% and 23%). Results of diagnosis of EGFR mutation in samples of body cavity fluids: Most samples of body cavity performing diagnosis of EGFR mutation were pleural fluid (91 cases # 77.77%). The highest rate of detection of mutations in pleural and cerebrospinal fluid samples (29.67% & 83.33%). Comparing the rate of detection of EGFR mutation in body fluid samples (35/117 cases # 29.91%) with the statistically lower rate of detection in histological samples (29.91%-41, 88% with P = 0.0125). Compared with other studies in the world, most studies have higher results than those at Pham Ngoc Thach Hospital. Conclusion: Survey on the diagnosis of EGFR mutations in body cavity fluid samples, especially in fluid samples with too few malignant cells, showed positive results of 29.91%. The highest percentage is in pleural fluid and cerebrospinal fluid. However, the ability to detect EGFR mutations in body cavity fluid samples was lower than in histological specimens (29.91% < 41.88%). And the similarity between these two samples is 71.42%. Therefore, it is necessary to improve the technique of performing EGFR mutation diagnosis in body cavity fluid samples with more sensitive methods: ddPCR, NGS...

The objective of this paper was to evaluate the use of CD3, CD5, CD10, CD19, and CD20 markers in the differential identification of lymphoma subtypes. Methods and Results: This was a retrospective cross-sectional study included 82 patients with palpable lymphadenopathies. The formalin-fixed paraffin block sections immunostained with the Dako flex were investigated. CD3, CD5, CD10, CD19, and CD20 staining was performed on sections. The current study found that the two main types of lymphoma, Hodgkin’s lymphoma and non-Hodgkin’s lymphoma, have a significant association with CD3, CD10, and CD19, and a highly significant association with CD20, implying that these CD markers are crucial for general classification and diagnosis of lymphoma. CD3 had a highly significant relationship with gender. CD3 and CD20 were demonstrated to have a significant relationship with the lymphoma subtypes. The CD20 marker is the most consistent and useful marker for differentiating lymphoma subtypes.

Background: Nevus lipomatosus cutaneous superficialis (NLCS) of Hoffmann–Zurhelle is a benign idiopathic hamartoma. There are two types of NLCS, multiple and solitary. They are found in the abdomen, lower back, buttocks, hips, upper posterior thighs, and pelvis. The diagnosis can be evaluated with a typical histopathological of mature fat cells in the dermis, with 10%–50% of the dermis. Case Report: We reported a case of NLCS with clinical papules and multiple nodules on the buttocks since the age of 6 years with a history of lipoma removal. The dermoscopic examination was conducted to confirm the diagnosis. The histopathological examination showed a dominant sclerotic fibroma with two sessions of biopsy and a few mature fats on the dermis after deeper cuts paraffin block. Cryotherapy with an open spray method is treatment of choice in this patient. Discussion: The appearance of the dermis in NLCS can be normal or an increase in collagen. Interestingly, collagen has sclerosis partially and resembles sclerotic fibroma never been reported. NLCS increases the amount of collagen; however, collagen as sclerosis remains obscure. The features of NLCS histopathological with other morphological abnormalities in the dermis have been reported, such as NLCS with perifollicular fibroma (PF) features. The sclerotic fibroma features are other morphological abnormalities in NLCS, as reported in the PF.

Abstract IntroductionImmunodeficient patients, including the recipients of solid organs, exhibit an increase in the incidence of neoplasms. Post-transplant smooth muscle tumor (PTSMT) is a distinct and infrequent entity of these groups of neoplasms. Epstein–Barr virus (EBV) is considered to be involved in the etiology of this neoplasm.Case reportA 28-year-old man who underwent liver transplantation presented with abdominal pain and diarrhea for several months. He had a history of resistant systemic cytomegalovirus (CMV) infection after transplantation. On physical examination, he had mild abdominal tenderness. Spiral chest and abdominopelvic CT scan with contrast showed a liver lesion with ring enhancement; furthermore, it showed a solid lesion in the spleen and multiple small lesions in lower lobes of both lungs. Colonoscopy revealed multiple small raised polypoid lesions throughout the rectum and colon. Microscopic evaluation of colon mucosa biopsy using IHC study was in favor of spindle cell neoplasm with high proliferative index. He underwent a right hemicolectomy. A microscopic study showed spindle cell proliferation with mild atypia and a mild increase in mitotic rate without any necrosis, with features of smooth muscle tumor. Trucut biopsy of liver mass was also in favor of smooth muscle tumor. According to transplantation history and considering the possibility of EBV-associated smooth muscle tumor, EBV encoded RNA (EBER) chromogenic in-situ hybridization (CISH) study on paraffin block of colon lesions was requested, which demonstrated EBV RNA in tumor cell nuclei and immunoblasts of the adjacent lymph node, suggesting EBV-associated smooth muscle tumor. In addition, PCR for CMV was requested on paraffin block of the colon lesions, which also showed a positive result. PCR for EBV and CMV viremia were negative. The dosage of immunosuppressive agents was reduced, and currently, he is being followed, with slow expansion in the size of the lesions.Conclusion Although the incidence of post-transplant smooth muscle tumors (PTSMTs) is low, it should be remained in the differential diagnosis in post-transplantation patients, especially dealing with multifocal tumors. As strong stimulant for smooth muscle tumors, close follow-up and screening for EBV and CMV infection and early treatment at the time of diagnosis are recommended to avoid these virus-induced tumors.

Abstract Objective: To determine the role of TLR-7 expression on intrauterine vertical transmission in pregnancy through identification of serum hepatitis B markers in both maternal and umbilical cord blood. Method: Analysis of TLR expression was performed on 38 paraffin block samples of placental tissue acquired from mothers with HBV using TLR immunohistochemical staining. Result: 16 of 38 samples were acquired from mothers aged 26-30 years old. Most of the samples were from primiparous mothers (52.6%). This study found no significant association between TLR-7 expression and HBV DNA in the placenta and cord blood (p=1.000). However, we found a significant association between placental TLR-7 expression and maternal HBV DNA (p=0.034). Meanwhile, placental HBeAg and HBV DNA were not associated with placental TLR-7 expression (p=0.082; p = 1.000). Conclusion: There was no significant association between TLR-7 expression and HBV DNA in the placenta and cord blood, but we found a significant association between TLR-7 expression and maternal HBV DNA. Key word: toll-like receptor (TLR) 7, HBV DNA, umbilical cord, placental, Hepatitis B, intrauterine infection

Background: Skin is the largest organ of the body, accounting for 15-20% of the total body weight and acts as a barrier between the external and internal environment and maintain homeostasis.The sweat and sebaceous glands in dermis of skin play vital role in developing the adaptive ability to the heat stress. Besides this, the distribution pattern and number of these glands vary in different animals that may aid in identification of different species.Methods: The study was conducted on abdominal skin of 36 adult cattle, buffalo, horse, goat, pig and dog (six sample of each) collected from abattoir, Veterinary clinics and post-mortem hall of GADVASU, Ludhiana. After collection, the tissues were fixed in 10% neutral buffered formalin and processed for paraffin block preparation. The paraffin sections of 5-6 µm were cut and stained with hematoxylin and eosin stain. Result: The study revealed that the sebaceous glands were multilobular, alveolar glands comprised of several layers of epithelial cells and were associated with hair follicles in all species studied. The number of sebaceous glands/mm2 was significantly higher (p≤0.05) in goat (1.60± 0.11) than in pig (0.44±0.06) whereas sebaceous gland diameter was significantly higher (p≤0.05) in buffalo (109.83±6.14 µm) than in goat (61.16 ±2.42 µm).The sweat glands were of saccular and simple coiled tubular type and most of them were associated with hair follicles. The number of sweat glands/mm2 was the highest in horse (3.10 ± 0.24) and the least in buffalo (0.76 ±0.05). Sweat gland diameter was significantly higher (p≤0.05) maximum in buffalo (123±3.15 µm) and minimum in goat (50.33 ±2.85 µm) and the difference.

Abstract Background Diffuse gliomas are the most frequent primary tumors originating in the central nervous system parenchyma. Although the majority of these tumors are highly malignant, extradural metastases (EDM) are extremely rare. We aimed to perform a systematic review of patients with pathology-proven EDM of diffuse gliomas in the Netherlands. Methods From the Nationwide Network and Registry of Histo- and Cytopathology in the Netherlands information on all cases with EDM between 1971 and October 2018 was retrieved. Patients aged &lt; 18 years or with a diagnosis of ependymoma or continuous tumor growth from intra- to extradural were excluded. Demographics, initial tumor diagnosis, treatment characteristics, location of the EDM and survival data were collected. IDH1 R132H immunohistochemistry was performed on cases of which a paraffin block of the metastatic tumor could be retrieved. Results Twenty-five patients with diffuse glioma and pathology-proven EDM were identified. Median age at diagnosis of glioma was 46 years (IQR;35-59); 21 patients (84%) were male. Histopathologic diagnosis was glioblastoma in 17 patients (68%) and lower grade tumor in eight patients. In three out of 12 patients of which a paraffin block could be retrieved immunohistochemistry revealed an IDH1-mutant glioma. Most frequent EDM locations were bone/bone marrow (14/25 patients;56%), and lymph nodes (6/25 patients;24%). Conclusion EDM of diffuse glioma are rare. They occur most frequently in patients with glioblastoma, however they can also originate from lower grade, IDH-mutant gliomas. In daily practice, EDM of diffuse glioma should be considered in patients with tumefactive lesions of the bone or lymph nodes.

A B S T R A C TIntroduction: Basal cell carcinoma (KSB) is a non-melanoma skin cancer (KKNM),which is most commonly found compared to other skin cancers. KSB originates fromstem cells in the bulk of hair follicles or inter-follicular epidermis, through the Sonichadgehog (SHH) activation pathway, an increase in Sonic hadgehog (SHH) proteinexpression, involving Patches protein (PTCH), smothened protein (SMO), in the formof increased protein transcription activation Glia (GLI) in the nucleus, binds to DNAto initiate tumor-aggressive growth and tissue. Objective: to determine therelationship between Sonic hadgehog (SHH) expression and non-aggressive andaggressive basal cell carcinoma. Methods: The study was carried out in anobservational laboratory with 35 primary KSB patients, the tissue was taken usingelliptic biopsy technique, made paraffin block specimens for histopathologicalexamination of the subtype of KSB consisting of 20 non-aggressive KSB patients,namely nodular and superficial KSB; 15 patients with aggressive KSB werepigmented KSB; Infiltrates KSB, micronodular KSB, metypical KSB (basosquamousKSB) and SHH immunohistochemical (CPI) examination using SHH antibodies, inthe Anatomy Pathology section, FK Unsri / RSMH Palembang. The characteristics ofKSB patients were recorded, namely sex, age, occupation based on the length ofexposure to BC, namely exposure <3 hours / day, exposure 3-6 hours / day,exposure ≥ 6 hours / day. The data were processed using the Statistical AnalysisSoftware Package (SPSS) version 20.0 (IBM Corporation), tested with Pearsoncorrelation test and chi square test and presented in the form of diagrams, andnarrative tables. Results: Pearson's test showed a significant correlation betweenthe clinical features of KSB and the histopathologic features of non-aggressive andaggressive types of KSB (p 0.020), there was a significant relationship between thesubtypes of histopathologic features of KSB with non-aggressive and aggressivetypes of KSB (p 0.000), there was a significant relationship between strong SHHexpression and BCC aggressive compared to non-aggressive KSB, p 0.000 (p <05α),and r = 732 Conclusion: There is a relationship between SHH expression and KSBaggressiveness. The increase in strong SHH expression shows the aggressiveness ofKSB, SHH expression can be used as a biological gene target both as a prognosticindicator and can be used as a target for treatment of aggressive KSB, especially inthe elderly.
