Basic information

Biomarker: calponin

Histology type: benign tumor

Cohort characteristics

Country: China

Region: Beijing

Study type: Comparative Study

Followed up time :

Subgroup 1 name : Positive in EST

Subgroup 1 number: 5

Subgroup 2 name: negative in EST

Subgroup 2 number: 16

Total number Group I Group I number Group II Group II number Group III Group III number Group IV Group IV number
41 uterine endometrial stromal tumors (EST) 21 highly cellular leiomyoma (HCL) 20

Sample information

Conclusion: Highly cellular leiomyomas have distinct morphologic features. H-caldesmon, calponin, CD10, desmin and SMA are helpful in the differential diagnosis of HCL and EST.
