Abstract

To clarify the correlation with phenotypic expression, clinicopathological features, genetic alteration and microsatellite-instability status in small intestinal adenocarcinoma (SIA). The cases of 47 patients diagnosed with primary SIAs that were surgically resected at our institution in 1975-2005 were studied. We reviewed clinicopathological findings (age, gender, tumor size, gross appearance, histological morphologic type, invasion depth, lymphatic permeation, venous invasion, and lymph node metastasis), and the immunohistochemical expression of MUC5AC, MUC6, MUC2, CD10, and mismatch-repair (MMR) proteins (MLH1 and MSH2). We analyzed KRAS and BRAF gene mutations, and the microsatellite instability (MSI) status. The immunohistochemical staining of CD10, MUC2, MUC5AC and MUC6 was considered positive when distinct staining in > 5% of the adenocarcinoma cells was recorded. To evaluate of MMR protein expression, we used adjacent normal tissue including lymphoid follicles, inflammatory cells, and stromal cells as an internal positive control. Sections without nuclear staining in the tumor cells were considered to have lost the expression of the respective MMR protein. There were 29 males and 18 females patients (mean age 59.9 years...Continue Reading
