General description

Epithelial cell adhesion molecule (Ep-CAM) is a transmembrane glycoprotein localized on the membrane of cells in most epithelial tissues. Immunoreactivity with the antibody to E-CAM has been seen in the majority of epithelial neoplasms, whereas most non-epithelial neoplasms do not show Ep-CAM expression. Ep-CAM is not expressed in mesothelial cells, hepatocytes, and lymphocytes. In conjunction with other markers, Ep-CAM can be used as an aid in determining the epithelial origin of neoplasms such as lung adenocarcinoma.

At present, a large number of immunohistochemical markers that can be used in the differential diagnosis between epithelioid peritoneal mesotheliomas and serous carcinomas are available. However, great differences of opinion exist regarding the individual value of some of these markers.

As both mesotheliomas and squamous carcinomas can present a wide variety of morphological patterns, they can on occasion be confused. Recently, some groups of investigators have called attention to the difficulties that sometimes exist in distinguishing between these malignancies and

Distinguishing primary hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) from metastatic carcinomas to the liver is often difficult, if not impossible, particularly in needle biopsy and fine-needle aspiration specimens. In an attempt to identify a specific immunohistochemical profile that would distinguish HCC from metastatic
