Morphologic and immunohistochemical criteria for the diagnosis of papillary intracystic carcinoma.
Microscopical features in papillary intracystic carcinoma are arbitrary but the immunohistochemical characteristics of the tumor provide important information for the diagnosis. SMA, factor VIII, S-100 Protein, Citokeratin together with Calponin can be used to assist in the interpretation of difficult papillary lesions.
