Alveolar soft part sarcoma of the vagina: an immunohistochemical and electron microscopic study. 1985

R V O'Toole, and S E Tuttle, and J G Lucas, and H M Sharma

Alveolar soft part sarcoma is a soft tissue neoplasm of unknown histogenesis which has a distinctive morphology. It is a relatively rare tumor with approximately 200 cases described in the literature. Only two cases have previously been reported as occurring in the vagina. The purpose of this paper is to report the third case of alveolar soft part sarcoma occurring in the vagina and to emphasize the role of electron microscopy in the differential diagnosis.

UI MeSH Term Description Entries
D007120 Immunochemistry Field of chemistry that pertains to immunological phenomena and the study of chemical reactions related to antigen stimulation of tissues. It includes physicochemical interactions between antigens and antibodies.
D008854 Microscopy, Electron Microscopy using an electron beam, instead of light, to visualize the sample, thereby allowing much greater magnification. The interactions of ELECTRONS with specimens are used to provide information about the fine structure of that specimen. In TRANSMISSION ELECTRON MICROSCOPY the reactions of the electrons that are transmitted through the specimen are imaged. In SCANNING ELECTRON MICROSCOPY an electron beam falls at a non-normal angle on the specimen and the image is derived from the reactions occurring above the plane of the specimen. Electron Microscopy
D010235 Paraganglioma A neural crest tumor usually derived from the chromoreceptor tissue of a paraganglion, such as the carotid body, or medulla of the adrenal gland (usually called a chromaffinoma or pheochromocytoma). It is more common in women than in men.
