Adenoma Pleomorfo de Glándula Lagrimal: Presentación de un caso clínico
2005
Los tumores de la glándula lagrimal son raros. Se presenta el caso clínico de un paciente masculino de 69 años de edad que consulta por un tumor (Adenoma Pleomorfo) en la región orbitaria derecha, de un año de evolución. Se realizó la escisión quirúrgica del mismo y la recuperación del paciente fue muy satisfactoria, sin recidivas tras un año de seguimiento. Se realiza también una revisión de las características clínicas, radiográficas e histopatológicas de estos tumores. Lacrimal gland tumors are rare. We present a case of a 69 year old male patient with a one year history of an orbital tumor (Pleomorphic Adenoma ). The tumor was surgically enucleated and patient recovery was very satisfac…
Myoepithelial cells are the main component in pleomorphic adenomas?
2007
Objective: The aim of this study was to quantify by immunohistochemistry the number of myoepithelial cells (MyECs) in pleomorphic adenomas (PAs). Material and methods: We retrieved the paraffin cubes of 27 PAs, new slides were done and they were stained with anti-S100 protein antibody. The amount of S-100 protein positive cells was quantified, their morphology was recorded and comparison among MyEC number with age, gender and involved gland were also done. Results: With S-100 protein, MyECs in normal salivary gland tissue were seen surrounding the ductual structures only. In the analysed PAs a mean of 27.4% of the neoplastic cells were positive to the antibody. With the exception of one PA,…
