Q

Which markers have been investigated for aiding in the diagnosis of pancreatic carcinoma in dogs?

A

The expression pattern of Claudin 4 and 5;

A

GISTs are positive for vimentin c-KIT (CD117) and DOG-1, while leiomyosarcomas will be positiv for smooth muscle actin and desmin

Q

Which markers can be used to diagnose a carcinoid?

A

These cells arise from the diffuse endocrine system, enterochromaffin cells; IHC for cytokeratin, and secretory substances such as serotonin may be positive.

Q

Which markers can be used for the diagnosis of perianal adenomas and adenocarcinomas?

A

IHC with monoclonal antibodies against carcinoma-associated antigens 4A9, 1A10, PNCA and Ki67 may help differentiate between adenoma and adenocarcinoma. Cytokeratin pattern can help differentiate from ASAC. BUT clinical validation is needed to confirm the utility of these IHC approaches.

20
Q

Which IHC pattern could be used if needed to obtain a diagnosis of ASAC?

A

cytokeratin CK7+/CK14-

21
Q

What would be the most likely diagnosis of a CD18 and CD204 positive pulmonary tumour?

A

Histiocytic sarcoma

22
Q

Ovarian epithelial tumours regularly express;

A

cytokeratin AE1/AE3, vimentin and desmin, HBME-1
variable COX-2 and endothelin-1

papillary adenocarcinoma can also be PLAP and CK7 positive

23
Q

Name the most sensitive and specific marker for granulosa-theca cell tumor?

A

Inhibin-alpha (epithelial tumours should not express this)

24
Q

For which tumour can Hector Battifora mesothelial epitope IHC be used to obtain diagnosis?

A

Epithelial ovarian tumours (mainly used in humans, but one paper in canines suggesting similar value in dogs)

25
Which tumour would be the main differential in an ovary if it was vimentin, S-100, INH-alpha positiv, and HBME+1 negative (hector battifora mesothelial epitope-1)
Granulosa-theca cell tumor
26
Which markers are commonly expressed by feline endometrial adenocarcinomas?

32
Name the markers for Mantle cell lymphoma?
CD20, CD21, CD45, CD79a, MCH2
33
Name the markers positiv for follicular lymphoma
CD20, CD21, CD45, CD79a, MHC2
34
How can you differentiate between the 3 most common forms of CLL in dogs?
``` T-CLL; CD3 and CD8 positive, and granular B-CLL; CD21 Atypical CLL: - CD3- /CD8+ - CD3+/CD4-/CD8- -CD3+/CD4+/CD8+ -CD3+/CD21+ ```
35
What are the most common markers for B-ALL?

A paraganglioma
38
Desmin is usually expressed in which tumours?
Screening for neoplasms with myogenic differentiation; rhabdomyosarcoma, rhabdomyoma, leiomyosarcoma, leiomyoma, smooth muscle and rhabdomyoblastic elements, fibrous histocytoma and myofibroblastic sarcoma Ovarian epithelial cells
39
What type of tissue will be identified with a positive SMA IHC stain?
