  • Title: Patterns of expression of intermediate filaments and S-100 protein in desmoplastic ameloblastoma.
    Author: Siar CH, Ng KH.
    Journal: J Nihon Univ Sch Dent; 1993 Jun; 35(2):104-8. PubMed ID: 7692015.
    Abstract:
    Seventeen cases of desmoplastic ameloblastoma were examined immunohistochemically. Immunoperoxidase techniques were applied for detection of keratin, desmin, vimentin and S-100 protein expression in these tumors. The tumor epithelium of desmoplastic ameloblastoma exhibited weak, focal, inconstant keratin staining, weak, variable expression of S-100 protein, desmin immunoreactivity of mild to moderate intensity and vimentin non-reactivity. The pertinent literature on the immunohistochemistry of ameloblastomas is briefly reviewed.
