High impact information on Adamantinoma

 

Biological context of Adamantinoma

 

Anatomical context of Adamantinoma

  • To gain more insight into the differentiation characteristics of the epithelial cells of the adamantinoma of the long bones, we studied the specific keratin immunoreactivity pattern using monoclonal antibodies on 34 primary, recurrent, or metastatic specimens of 22 patients [6].
 

Gene context of Adamantinoma

  • Twenty-four cases of adamantinoma and 24 cases of osteofibrous dysplasia of the long bones were studied to evaluate the expression and distribution of cytokeratin (CK) subtypes in relation to histogenesis and differentiation [7].
  • In 71% of adamantinomas, vimentin showed strong immunoreactivity in the tumour cells of nests and tubules [7].
  • In osteofibrous dysplasia the epithelial-like component was much smaller than in adamantinoma and was present in scattered islands composed of a few cell positive for CKAE1/AE3 and CK19 and negative for other keratins [7].
  • CD99 positive adamantinoma of the ulna with ipsilateral discrete osteofibrous dysplasia [8].
  • Distribution of extracellular matrix components in adamantinoma of long bones suggests fibrous-to-epithelial transformation [9].
