Abstract

Twenty intramucosal tumors of "carcinoma-in-adenoma' and 43 adenomas (39 pyloric gland type, 4 intestinal type) of the gall-bladder were studied to establish more precise histological criteria of carcinoma or adenoma in cases of "carcinoma in pyloric gland type adenoma', to compare carcinoma in adenoma with pure, that is, without adenomatous components, carcinoma, and to confirm the benign nature of spindle cell foci in the adenomas. Ki-67 and p53 immunostaining and nuclear morphometry were used. Eight pure intramucosal cancers were used as controls. The formalin-fixed, paraffin-embedded sections were stained with p53 and Ki-67 antibodies. Spindle cell foci were observed only in the adenoma area of the pyloric gland type, with a frequency of 23% in 39 adenomas, and of 45% in 20 tumors of carcinoma-in-adenoma. Ki-67 staining was negative in 129 of 130 spindle cell foci examined, regardless of their size, and positive in only one focus (550 microns in size, Ki-67 index 0.2%). All of the spindle cell foci were negative for p53 stain. The Ki-67 positive index was 36.6 +/- 5.6% in the 8 pure carcinomas, and 12.5 +/- 1.9% in the cancer areas of 16 tumors with carcinoma-in-adenoma, while it was 7.9 +/- 1.7% in the adenoma areas of 16 ...Continue Reading
