A Common Tumour in an Uncommon Site: Utility of Special Stains in the Era of Immunohistochemistry
Journal Title: Scholars Journal of Applied Medical Sciences - Year 2015, Vol 3, Issue 1
Abstract
Leiomyomas are benign smooth muscle tumours that arise at a wide variety of locations. Most of them appear to originate from their normal tissue counterpart. Primary bronchial leiomyomas are rare. Here we present a case of primary bronchial leiomyoma diagnosed using Haematoxylin & Eosin (H&E) and confirmed by Masson’s trichrome and Smooth Muscle Actin (SMA). We have come to a conclusion that expensive immunohistochemistry markers donot confer any added advantage in diagnosing benign smooth muscle neoplasms.
