Implication
Immunohistochemistry does not support histiocytic or neuroectodermal origin for DFSP; leaves open tumor histogenesis for further study.
Structured PICO
P
Population
41 cases of dermatofibrosarcoma protuberans
I
Intervention
Immunohistochemical staining with antisera to lysozyme, alpha 1-antichymotrypsin and S-100 protein (performed on 13 cases)
O
Outcome
Histogenetic origin (evidence of histiocytic or neuroectodermal origin)
Immunohistochemical analysis does not support a histiocytic or neuroectodermal origin for dermatofibrosarcoma protuberans.
