CD10
Recommended control tissues:Lymphoid tissue containing germinal centers
Staining pattern: Cytoplasmic
This antibody react with normal tissues such as:
1) B cells in follicular centers; precursor lymphoid cells; granulocytes (John KC Chan. Tumors in lymphoretiucular system in Flercher et al. Diagnostic histopathology of tumors p1106)
2) Some epithelial cells
3) Fibroblasts of breast stromal tissue.
4) Endometrial stroma:Can be used for diagnosis of endometriosis
5) mesonephric lesions in the female genital tract
This antiboy react with neoplastic lesions such as:
1) Follicular lymphoma (~80%). Diffuse positivity of CD10 in interfollicular area is indicative of FL.
Figure: Follicular lymphoma. CD10 is diffusely positive in interfollicular area in addition to germinal centers.
2) Burkitt lymphoma
3) B-lymphoblastic lymphoma
4) Rare T cell lymphomas
5) Some diffise large B-cell lymphomas
6) Various non-hematolymphoid neoplasms, especially endometrial stromal sarcoma and renal cell carcinoma(Chu P, Arber DA. Paraffin-section detection of CD10 in 505 nonhematopoietic neoplasms. Frequent expression in renal cell carcinoma and endometrial stromal sarcoma.Am J Clin Pathol. 2000 Mar;113(3):374-82)
