Disease relevance of Granular Cell Tumor

 

High impact information on Granular Cell Tumor

 

Chemical compound and disease context of Granular Cell Tumor

 

Biological context of Granular Cell Tumor

  • Unlike the usual granular cell tumors arising in the tongue or buccal mucosa, such lesions are not S-100 positive and can exhibit mitoses and cytologic atypia, features that may suggest a low-grade mesenchymal malignancy necessitating aggressive therapy [16].
 

Anatomical context of Granular Cell Tumor

 

Gene context of Granular Cell Tumor

  • Immunoperoxidase staining using five antisera to human carcinoembryonic antigen (CEA), including a mouse monoclonal antibody, was performed to investigate the expression of CEA reactivity in ten cases of granular cell myoblastoma [21].
  • Thirty-one granular cell lesions (26 granular cell tumors [GCT] and five other granular cell lesions) from 18 different sites were evaluated immunohistochemically for keratins, vimentin, desmin, muscle actin, ACT, HLA-DR, and S-100 protein [22].
  • Granular cell tumor: immunohistochemical assessment of inhibin-alpha, protein gene product 9.5, S100 protein, CD68, and Ki-67 proliferative index with clinical correlation [23].
  • Granular cell tumor in a PHTS patient with a novel germline PTEN mutation [24].
  • For further characterization of S-100 protein-positive granular cell tumor (GCT), the expression of osteopontin (OPN) in the tumor cells was compared with other types of Schwannian cell tumors [25].
