The concentrations of three steroid hormones (estrogen, progesteron and 1,25-dihydroxycholecalciferol) receptors (ER, PgR, DR) in tissue cytosol were analyzed in a group of 17 breast phylloid tumors. Comparison with breast carcinoma tissue samples (n = 37) did not reveal significant differences in average values of ER, PgR, and DR. Comparison with another control set of 30 samples of dysplastic tissue of the mammary gland showed significant differences only in PgR values. Only 18% of phylloid tumor samples contained levels above cut-of-line of all three receptors (ER, PgR, DR-5,10,10 resp. fmol/ mg protein). The most frequent combination was ER+PgR+DR-(41%). As far as we know, DR in phylloid breast tumors have never been examined before. In approximately 60% of our samples we found the expression of DR, in 36% the estimated values were above 10 fmol/mg protein. Cells of the tissue not expressing DR seem to belong to a special phenotype. We found no ER+PgR- or ER-PgR-combinations in them. The group which expresses DR is characterized by a higher dispersion of PgR values.

D011960 Receptors, Estrogen Cytoplasmic proteins that bind estrogens and migrate to the nucleus where they regulate DNA transcription. Evaluation of the state of estrogen receptors in breast cancer patients has become clinically important.

D011980 Receptors, Progesterone Specific proteins found in or on cells of progesterone target tissues that specifically combine with progesterone. The cytosol progesterone-receptor complex then associates with the nucleic acids to initiate protein synthesis. There are two kinds of progesterone receptors, A and B. Both are induced by estrogen and have short half-lives.

D003557 Phyllodes Tumor A type of connective tissue neoplasm typically arising from intralobular stroma of the breast. It is characterized by the rapid enlargement of an asymmetric firm mobile mass. Histologically, its leaf-like stromal clefts are lined by EPITHELIAL CELLS. Rare phyllodes tumor of the prostate is also known.
