    Notes: Abstract The ultrastructure of Kaposi's sarcoma-associated herpesvirus (KSHV)/human herpesvirus-8 (HHV-8) has not yet been fully elucidated, although some findings have been reported using primary effusion lymphoma (PEL) cell lines, KS-1, harboring no Epstein–Barr virus (EBV) coinfection. In the present study, detailed fine structural examination of KSHV/HHV-8 was performed after stimulation of the PEL-derived cell line KS-1 with 12-O-tetradecanoyl-phorbol-13-acetate (TPA) in vitro. While unstimulated KS-1 cells contained a small number of intranuclear virus particles associated with no extracellular mature particles, KS-1 cells stimulated with TPA produced many extracellular mature particles as well as intranuclear particles, in addition to interesting tubulo-reticular structures and aggregated tubular structures in vesicles. The induced intranuclear particles were empty, doughnut shaped, and dense cored, with outer and inner diameters of 100–110 nm and 60–70 nm, respectively. Dense-cored extracellular mature particles were 150–160 nm in diameter, and some contained doughnut-shaped cores, together with a few megaloviruses, 260 nm in outer diameter. These findings indicate that KS-1 cells treated with TPA can produce extracellular mature particles as well as intranuclear particles, which were proven to be KSHV/HHV-8.

    Notes: Abstract  We report here a case of ameloblastoma of the mandible with multiple local recurrences and metastasis to the orbit. The patient was a 63-year-old Japanese woman with visual disturbance of her right eye. Diagnostic imaging revealed a mass occupying the right orbital apex with partial intracranial involvement. She had been surgically treated for mandibular ameloblastoma 27 years previously, and the tumour had recurred three times in the past 5 years. The orbital tumour and recurrent ameloblastomas were investigated histopathologically and immunohistochemically. The tumour changed in morphology as it recurred, from follicular ameloblastoma without atypia to apparent malignant tumours disclosing undifferentiated or squamoid features. On immunohistochemical analysis, staining for cytokeratin was positive in the squamoid cells but not in the undifferentiated cells. Both histopathologically and immunohistochemically, the orbital tumour was almost identical to the undifferentiated recurrent tumour. The orbital tumour was distinct from the primary site or sites of recurrence of ameloblastoma, and we concluded that the mandibular ameloblastoma underwent malignant transformation with multiple recurrences and finally metastasized to the orbit.

    Myolipoma of the round ligament: report of a case with a review of the English literature (1995)

    Notes: Abstract Tumours consisting of a mixture of mature adipose and smooth muscle tissues, including those designated lipoleiomyomas, fibrolipoleiomyomas and myolipomas, are exceedingly rare, but most often occur in the uterine corpus. We describe here a case of such a tumour arising in the right round ligament of a 44-year-old woman. The tumour, which measured approximately 20×15×10 cm, was well encapsulated and did not involve the intrapelvic organs. Intricate mixtures of adult adipose tissue and bland smooth muscle exhibited no cellular atypia or nuclear mitotic figures, and there was little vascular proliferation. We diagnosed the lesion as a myolipoma of soft tissue with dual differentiation, and have found only 13 cases of this tumour including our own in the English literature. The present tumour is the first reported in the round ligament. Although this tumour is rare, its recognition is important for the avoidance of erroneous diagnoses.

    Notes: Abstract  Three hundred and sixteen patients with nonmelanocytic skin cancer, including 46 cases of Bowen’s disease (BOD), 134 cases of squamous cell carcinoma (SCC), and 136 cases of basal cell carcinoma (BCC), were examined immunohistochemically using monoclonal antibody DO-7 to assess p53 protein accumulation related to sun exposure and ageing, and growth and differentiation of skin cancer and its precursors. The rates of p53 immunostaining of BOD, SCC and BCC were 80.4%, 76.1% and 70.6%, respectively. p53-positive cells were present not only in cancer nests, but also in dysplastic and even morphologically normal epidermis adjoining cancers. Sun exposure was statistically correlated with the p53 immunostaining scores in morphologically normal epidermis of the three skin cancers and in cancer nests of SCC and BCC. The positivity and score of p53 protein often differed significantly among the three types of cancer, especially in regions of dysplasia. Interestingly, differentiation of SCC was correlated with individual p53 scores for dysplasia and cancer nests, especially for dysplasia. BOD, as the precursor of SCC, demonstrated the strongest p53 expression. Furthermore, 12.3% cases with p53 negative cancer nests showed p53-positive reaction in dysplasia and in morphologically normal epidermis. It seems that the accumulation of p53 protein plays a part in precancerous lesions and in the genesis of more highly differentiated types of skin cancer and affects mainly the growth of tumour cells rather than their differentiation. For BCC, however, age was significantly related to p53 expression. Our findings suggest that overexpression of p53 in normal skin and cancer nests of SCC and BCC is significantly related to sun exposure, that the expression of p53 in BCC is an age-dependent process, and that the early accumulation of p53 protein may be a useful predictor for the detection of nonmelanocytic skin cancer.
