- BACKGROUND
The Src family kinases (SFKs) are involved in multiple aspects of tumorigenesis, such as, proliferation, migration, and angiogenesis, and are involved in the generation and progression of many types of tumors.
Furthermore, dasatinib, a general SFKs inhibitor was recently approved for use in chronic myeloid leukemia. This study was performed to evaluate the expression of Lyn, a member of the SFKs, in osteosarcoma tissues.
METHODS
One hundred and sixteen patients with osteoblastic osteosarcoma were selected for Lyn expression analysis. The correlation between Lyn expression in tumor sections and patients' clinicopathologic characteristics and the prognostic significance of Lyn expression were evaluated.
RESULTS
Lyn was found to be expressed in 52 of the 116 patients (44.8%), and Lyn positive tumor was found to be significantly associated with a lytic tumor pattern on plain radiographs (p = 0.04). Furthermore, those positive for Lyn showed longer metastasis free survival (5-year metastasis free survival, 65.2% for Lyn positive and 46.8% for Lyn negative; p = 0.06), though this was only marginally significant.
CONCLUSIONS
Lyn was found to be overexpressed in osteosarcoma tissues, and this overexpression was found to be correlated with osteolysis.

Abstract
PDF
- Well-differentiated papillary mesothelioma (WDPM) is a rare subtype of malignant mesothelioma, which is considered to have low malignant potential. Because of its rare occurrence in the pleura, cytopathologists are not familiar with the cytologic features of WDPM, and to date only one report regarding the cytomorphology of aspiration biopsies of WDPM in pleura has been released. The authors present the findings of fine needle aspiration cytology of WDPM in the pleura in a 53-year-old woman. Aspiration smears showed papillary clusters composed of one to three layers of surface tumor cells and a central hyalinized stromal core.
Tumor cells were round, ovoid, and spindle like with minimally atypical nuclei and small conspicuous nucleoli.
Mitotic activity was virtually absent. Excisional biopsy histologic and immunohistochemical findings were wholly compatible with WDPM findings. Knowledge of the specific cytologic findings of WDPM is crucial for accurate diagnosis and appropriate treatment.
