    Notes: [Auszug] Sir Although I entirely endorse the stand taken by the authors of the Durban Declaration, I think that HIV is the principal, rather than the sole, initiating factor of the current world pandemic of AIDS. I believe this for the following reasons. First, from my experience ...

    Notes: Loss of CD30 expression in metastatic embryonal carcinoma: the effects of chemotherapy? Aims: CD30 has been shown to be consistently strongly expressed in embryonal carcinomas. Our aim was to examine changes in CD30 expression in embryonal carcinomas before and after treatment with chemotherapy. Methods and results: One hundred and eighteen retroperitoneal lymph node dissections from patients with metastatic germ cell tumours were reviewed. Seventeen contained embryonal carcinoma deposits. In nine cases, the matching pre-chemotherapy orchidectomy specimens were available. The cases were immunohistochemically stained for CD30. All nine pre- chemotherapy orchidectomy specimens showed embryonal carcinoma and stained strongly positively for CD30. However, only four out of nine of the matched post-chemotherapy retroperitoneal lymph node dissection specimens and a total of six out of 17 (35%) with embryonal carcinoma deposits stained for CD30. Ten seminomas were negative for CD30. Loss of CD30 did not appear to influence the relapse rate of the patients. Conclusions: Loss of CD30 expression occurs frequently in metastatic embryonal carcinomas after chemotherapy. This finding has implications in the use of CD30 in the diagnosis of metastatic non-seminomatous germ cell tumours and suggests that chemotherapy may alter the immunophenotype of embryonal carcinoma while retaining its characteristic histological appearances.

    The frequency of intratubular embryonal carcinoma: implications for the pathogenesis of germ cell tumours (2004)

    Notes: Aims:  To define the frequency and distribution of intratubular embryonal carcinoma (IEC) in an attempt to shed light on the pathogenesis of non-seminomatous germ cell tumours (NSGCTs). Intratubular germ cell neoplasia of unclassified type (IGCNU) is common in NSGCT; however, IEC is rarely described.Methods and results:  Sixty-two germ cell tumours were reviewed. Immunochemistry for CD30, placental alkaline phosphatase (PLAP) and c-kit was performed. The distribution, immunohistochemistry and morphology of the intratubular neoplasia were noted. All cases showed widespread IGCNU with PLAP and c-kit staining. CD30 showed strong focal intratubular positivity in 20/31 NSGCTs, 1/29 seminomas and 1/4 mixed seminomas/NSGCTs. In 17 of these cases, the CD30+ tubules were not easily identified as IEC on routine stains. These tubules were scanty in number and c-kit was negative, though some showed patchy PLAP staining. The cells within these tubules differed morphologically from IGCNU.Conclusions:  IEC defined by CD30 positivity is not always easily identified on haematoxylin and eosin staining. We suggest that IEC is a common intermediate step between IGCNU and NSGCTs. The patchy and focal distribution of IEC suggests it may evolve quickly to invasive disease.
