An immunohistochemical analysis of S-100 protein and glial fibrillary acidic protein in nasal glioma.
The authors describe a recurrent nasal glioma of the nasal septum in a new-born boy. Histologically, the nodular tumor tissue resembled normal glial tissue. Immunohistochemical studies with the immunoperoxidase (PAP and ABC) techniques revealed the presence of both S-100 protein and glial fibrillar acidic protein (GFAP), indicating the glial nature of the tumor.
