摘要: The aim of this study was to clarify the relationship between histological features GH-producing adenomas surgically resected at Toranomon Hospital and clinical patients. Histological examinations, including immunohistochemistry for anterior pituitary hormones cytokeratin (CK), were performed on 242 consecutively excised adenomas. Immunohistochemistry showed 45% be monohormonal 55% plurihormonal, producing GH-PRL (77%), GH-TSH (13%), GH-PRL-TSH (10%). One-fourth GH had a dot-like pattern CK immunoreactivity in majority tumor cells (>80%); they significantly more common female or younger patients usually tended larger invasive than with perinuclear CK. Interestingly, CK-immunonegative found only 5% patients; also tendency larger, suggesting that are distinct type adenoma clinically aggressive features. Serum hormone levels correlated well size immunoreactivity. Each subtype adenoma, classified according immunoreactivity, associated characteristics. This information is useful understanding pathophysiology acromegaly-causing
