Pathology of primary neuroectodermal tumor and its prognostic factors: A report of 35 cases
Objective To study the pathology of primary neuroectodermal tumor (PNET)
and its diagnostic standards and prognostic factors. Methods Expression of CD99,FLI-1,Syn,NSE,S-100,NF,and Vim was detected in PNET tissues stained with HE and immmunohistochemistry (En Vision method). Survival rate of 33 PNET patients with complete clinical information was analyzed with COX regression analysis method. Results The positive expression rate of CD99
FLI-1
Vim,Syn,NSE and s-100 was 88.57%
51.43%
91.42%,48.57%,45.71%,and 22.86%,respectively. The sensitivity of combined CD99 and FLI-1 was 100%. However
NF was not expressed in all PNET tissues. When other factors were unchanged,no difference was found in the effect of age on the survival rate of patients. However,a significant difference was observed in the effect of PNET site and its treatment modalities on the survival rate of patients (P0.05). Conclusion Routine pathologic and immunohistochemical examination can provide diagnostic evidence of PNET. Detection of CD99 and FLI-1 expression with immunohistochemistry can increase the diagnostic sensitivity of PNET. The main factor affecting the prognosis of PNET is its primary site and treatment modality rather than the age of patients.
