Abstract:
Differential diagnosis of gestational trophoblastic diseases (GTP) using standard micromorphological examination is complicated and less reliable. Therefore, the aim of our study was to investigate the immunohistochemical phenotype of chorionic villi during GTP, as well as in physiological cases. Study included five groups: I group - normal chorionic villi, II group - chorionic villi with hydropic changes, III group - Partial mole, IV group - Complete mole, V group - early Complete mole. Following markers were examined using standard immunohistochemistry: CK7, CK20, P63, PLAP, P57, CK5, CK8/18, CEA, CD34 Ki67, P53, E-cadherin, vimentin, β-catenin and inhibin. Study results showed that chorionic villi are characterized with marked phenotypic heterogeneity in normal tissue, as well as in cases of GTP, which can be used as an additional criterion for the differential diagnosis of GTP.
