pubmed:abstractText
Two intraabdominal desmoplastic small cell tumours presenting in young adult males and involving the entire peritoneum, with no evident single primary site, have been studied. The histological pattern was suggestive of a metastatic small cell epithelial neoplasm, but immunohistochemical study revealed strong reactivity for cytokeratins, vimentin and desmin indicating synchronous epithelial and myogenous differentiation. In addition epithelial membrane antigen and neuron specific enolase were also positive. Electron microscopy showed fairly undifferentiated tumour cells with striking desmosome-like junctions, containing prominent paranuclear whorls of intermediate filaments, and a typical myofibroblastic stroma around neoplastic islands. Although the histogenesis of these recently described and rare tumours still remains uncertain, it seems that they constitute a reproducible entity which requires differential diagnosis from other small cell tumours of childhood and young adulthood.
