    Notes: The clinicopathological features of two infants with desmoplastic supratentorial neuroepithelial tumours are described. The cases were similar to the 26 cases reported previously as desmoplastic infantile ganglioglioma and superficial cerebral astrocytoma attached to dura. Neuronal differentiation was absent on routine stains, but was immunohistochemically established. We review the literature and suggest classifying this clinicopathological entity by using a general designation such as desmoplastic supratentorial neuroepithelial tumours of infancy, a term which indicates the variability in the amount and lines of differentiation.

    Notes: Based on the striking histological similarity of craniopharyngiomas and some odontogenic tumours, we reclassified a series of 54 craniopharyngiomas (52 adamantinomatous and two papillary variants) according to the WHO classification of odontogenic tumours. Twenty-seven tumours (50%) corresponded histologically to calcifying odontogenic cyst, 13 tumours (24%) to ameloblastoma, and eight (15%) tumours showed features of both calcifying odontogenic cyst and ameloblastoma either within the same specimen or in specimens derived from different resections. Rare tumours included three cases resembling calcifying epithelial odontogenic tumour and one case resembling adenomatoid odontogenic tumour. No odontogenic counterpart could be established for papillary craniopharyngiomas. The two major subtypes, i.e. craniopharyngioma corresponding to calcifying odontogenic cyst and craniopharyngioma corresponding to ameloblastoma, did not differ in their basic clinical features. Our data confirm and extend the close histological resemblance between adamantinomatous craniopharyngioma and odontogenic tumours and cysts. Furthermore, although calcifying odontogenic cyst and ameloblastoma arising in the jaw differ in clinical presentation and outcome, our study did not reveal clinical differences for the corresponding subtypes of craniopharyngioma.

    Notes: Summary We report a case history of a patient whose diagnosis of AL amyloidosis remained elusive until postmortem examination. Exhaustive autonomic neuropathy mimicking a chronic Guillain-Barr'e syndrome dominated the clinical picture. The problems in establishing the definitive diagnosis of AL amyloidosis even in the face of strong clinical evidence are discussed.

    Immunohistochemical investigation of collagen subtypes in human glioblastomas (1988)

    Notes: Summary The immunohistochemical distribution of a spectrum of collagens and procollagens was studied in 16 glioblastomas. Anti-collagen IV antibodies frequently outlined thickened or disrupted basement membranes (BM) of tumour vessels. Glial BM were frequently penetrated by tumour cells; endothelial BM were not. Some proliferating vessels did not stain for extracellular collagen IV but were rimmed by collagen IV-positive cells, some of which expressed GFAP. Procollagen I was restricted to proliferating leptomeninges and pathological tumour vessels. Collagen III and procollagen III were codistributed in intratumoural and extratumoural interstitial connective tissue. Collagen VI was most pronounced in the adventitia of normal vessels and in spindle-cell proliferations of pathological vessels but not in the endothelial cell proliferations. On the basis of our findings, we conclude that glial cells play a major role in BM formation around tumour vessels, that procollagen I may serve as a marker for proliferation of interstitial connective tissue, and that the origin of spindle-cell proliferation is adventitial, rather than endothelial.

    Proliferative potential of meningiomas determined with the monoclonal antibody Ki-67 (1987)

    Notes: Summary In 30 meningiomas we investigated the proliferation rate of various subtypes with the monoclonal antibody Ki-67. Frozen sections were incubated with Ki-67 antibody using a modified Alkaline Phosphatase anti-Alkaline Phosphatase (APAAP)-technique and evaluation of proliferation rate was done by cell counting. Meningiomas of the meningiotheliomatous, fibrous and angioblastic subtype without atypical histological findings contained 1% or less proliferating cells. In recurent tumors, in transitional and in anaplastic meningiomas there is a marked increase of proliferating cells up to 20%. The distribution of marked cells varies in recurrent tumors and anaplastic meningiomas, and a focal proliferation of tumor cells was seen in meningiomas from transitional type. Immunohistological labelling of proliferating cells in meningiomas may allow a more precise prediction of the proliferation potential of each meningioma.

    Notes: Summary Immunohistochemical analysis of inflammatory cell density and infiltrate subpopulations in 42 meningiomas was performed. Evaluation of infiltrating cell density was carried out by cell counting. Meningothelial and fibroblastic meningiomas contained an average of 3% mononuclear cells; the few lymphocytes were localized in the perivascular spaces. In subtypes with cellular atypies and recurrent tumors, the inflammatory cells increased up to 9%. We found small mononuclear cell clusters in the tumor parenchyma in addition to the perivascular infiltrates. Marked degrees of infiltration were found in anaplastic meningiomas (average 13.5% of total cells). The lymphocytic infiltrates were localized in multilayered perivascular cuffings and intraparenchymal cell clusters. The composition of the infiltrates, i.e., predominantly a mixed staining of cytotoxic/suppressor and helper cell phenotypes, did not vary in the different subtupes. We conclude: (1) that inflammatory infiltration is more frequent and denser in malignant than in benign meningiomas; and (2) that the tumor defense mechanisms in meningiomas are mediated particularly by T cell mediated immunity.

    Notes: Summary Fibroblast growth factor (FGF) is a potent angiogenic factor and a mitogen for a variety of mesoderm-and neuroectoderm-derived cell types (e.g., fibroblasts, endothelial cells, astrocytes, oligodendrocytes). After application of a monospecific polyclonal antiserum, we localized basic FGF on frozen sections of 73 human brain tumors using immunohisto-chemistry. FGF was present in a variable number of tumor cells (16/16 astrocytomas, 5/5 ependymomas, 0/3 benign and 4/7 anaplastic oligodendrogliomas, 11/12 glioblastomas, 11/11 meningiomas, 6/6 neurilemmomas, 0/3 pituitary adenomas, 2/2 choroid plexus papillomas, 0/1 neurocytoma, 2/2 benign fibrous histiocytomas, 2/5 metastatic carcinomas). FGF was detected in vascular cells of 59 tumors and in fibroblasts of connective tissue stroma from all papillomas and metastases. These results tend to indicate FGF involvement in the malignant progression of gliomas due to an autocrine or paracrine action. Histopathological aspects of malignant gliomas (e.g., pseudopalisading or pathological vessels) could be related to FGF activity.

    Distribution and characterization of microglia/macrophages in human brain tumors (1996)

    Notes: Abstract The role of inflammatory reactions in brain tumors is still unclear. In particular, there is little information about the participation of the microglia/macrophage cell system. We therefore investigated 72 surgical biopsy samples of brain tumors (astrocytoma, glioblastoma, oligodendroglioma, ependymoma, medulloblastoma, cerebral lymphoma, gangliocytoma, neurocytoma and germinoma) and the brains of eight cases with malignant gliomas that came to autopsy, using immunohistochemical markers for the monocyte/macrophage lineage (Ki-M1P, HLA-DR, KP1, My4, My7, Ki-M1, Ki-M6, EBM 11). These markers allowed us to characterize four subtypes of the microglia/macrophage cell system: ramified microglia, ameboid microglia, perivascular microglia and brain macrophages. Among the different tumors, glioblastomas and anaplastic gliomas showed the largest number of mixed cell populations, which consisted of macrophages and ramified and ameboid microglia. In glial tumors of low malignancy fewer, predominantly ameboid, microglia were found. Neuronal tumors showed only a mild increase of microglia. Cerebral lymphomas contained macrophages diffusely distributed within the tumor center, while activated microglia were prominent at the border zone and in the adjacent brain tissue. The autopsy cases were used to study the morphometric distribution of microglia/macrophages. There was a significant increase of microglia/macrophages within the tumor, but no differences were seen between central and peripheral tumor areas. The non-neoplastic gray and white matter contained more microglial cells than controls. We conclude that the distribution pattern of ameboid and ramified microglial cells and macrophages is distinct in most of the investigated tumor types, underlining the complex immunological function of the microglia/macrophage cell system.

    Altered expression of collagen type VI in brain vessels of patients with chronic hypertension (1988)

    Notes: Summary The vascular extracellular matrix (ECM) plays an important role in the histopathology of cerebral microcirculation, but its characterization is still incomplete. For that reason we investigated paraffin-embedded and cryostat sections of intracerebral and meningeal vessels from eight normotensive and six hypertensive humans using monospecific affinity-purified polyclonal antibodies against human/monkey amino-terminal procollagen I+III peptide (P I P, P III P), collagen IV (7-S and NC1 domains), VI, and laminin (P 1 fragment) by applying peroxidase-antiperoxidase-and alkaline phosphatase-antialkaline phosphatase techniques. In normotensives, laminin and collagen IV were codistributed in the basal lamina of meningeal and intraparenchymal vessels. Collagen VI was only present in the adventitia of meningeal vessels and larger intraparenchymal arteries and veins, whereas it was absent from cortical vessels including capillaries. Intensive staining for collagen VI was observed in the choroid plexus, the superficial glia and sheath of cranial nerves. In hypertensives, the basement membrane constituents laminin and collagen IV appeared ubiquitously increased. Here, collagen VI was also deposited in the broadened vascular intima and media of larger arteries and in cortical vessels. In both groups collagen VI and P III P appeared to be codistributed. Our results indicate that significant qualitative changes in ECM of cerebral blood vessels are taking place during the development of hypertension, such as (1) an atypical deposition or an increase of collagen VI which by interconnecting collagen fibrils (I and III) might exert a stabilizing (sclerosing) function in the ECM, and (2) a thickening of vascular basement membranes caused by an accumulation of its major components laminin and collagen IV.
