Department of Pathomorphology, District Hospital, Konin.

An 83-year-old woman was admitted to our hospital because of colicky pain under the right costal arch suggesting cholecystitis. Physical examination confirmed by ultrasound scan indicated a palpable tumor in that location. Laparotomy was performed and the tumor was removed. Histopathological examination revealed malignant peripheral nerve sheath tumor (MPNST) originating in neurofibroma of the mesentery. Macroscopic, histological and cytological features were typical for MPNST. High nuclear pleomorphism, hyperchromasia were observed but on average only two mitotic figures per high power field were seen. The growth fraction determined by Ki-67 immunoreactivity was about 30%. Immunohistochemical stains revealed positivity of individual cells for NK-1(CD57), S-100 protein and NSE. It was lack of positivity for cytokeratin, EMA, vimentin, desmin, SMA, CD34. We report a well documented case of MPNST originating in preexisting neurofibroma of the mesentery. To our knowledge, is the first case in the Polish literature.

D009418 S100 Proteins A family of highly acidic calcium-binding proteins found in large concentration in the brain and believed to be glial in origin. They are also found in other organs in the body. They have in common the EF-hand motif (EF HAND MOTIFS) found on a number of calcium binding proteins. The name of this family derives from the property of being soluble in a 100% saturated ammonium sulfate solution.

D009455 Neurofibroma A moderately firm, benign, encapsulated tumor resulting from proliferation of SCHWANN CELLS and FIBROBLASTS that includes portions of nerve fibers. The tumors usually develop along peripheral or cranial nerves and are a central feature of NEUROFIBROMATOSIS 1, where they may occur intracranially or involve spinal roots. Pathologic features include fusiform enlargement of the involved nerve. Microscopic examination reveals a disorganized and loose cellular pattern with elongated nuclei intermixed with fibrous strands.
