Two Cases of Primary Malignant Fibrous Histiocytoma of the Liver: Immunohistochemical Expression of Ezrin and Its Relationship with Prognosis
Malignant fibrous histiocytoma (MFH) as soft tissue sarcoma would not be especially noteworthy, but primary hepatic MFH reports are extremely rare. Herein, we report ezrin expression in tumor tissues from two primary hepatic MFH cases with different prognoses. Cases 1 and 2 were both women, ages 45 and 70 years, respectively. Case 1 had an 11Ă—10 cm liver tumor in segment (S) 3, and case 2 had two liver tumors, 12Ă—8 cm in S5 and 10Ă—7 cm in S8. Neither had any other systemic tumors. Cases 1 and 2 survived for two year and ten months and for eight and a half months, respectively, after the initial tumor resection. Microscopically, the tumors of these two cases were similar and showed proliferation of atypical cells, including spindle, pleomorphic and multi-nucleated giant cells arranged in storiform, sheet and/or fascicle patterns, with scattered foci of inflammatory cells, indicating MFH. Ezrin expression in tumor tissue from case 1 was sparse, whereas that of case 2 showed strong ezrin expression in many tumor cells. The present results indicate ezrin immunoreactivity in primary hepatic MFH to correlate possible with prognosis, which is consistent with reports on some other types of malignancies
Territorio del SertĂłn del RĂo San Francisco (IRPAA) – Fomento de las actividades rurales
El segundo Estudio de Caso del WWP —de la serie que muestra iniciativas de Ă©xito en el ámbito de la inclusiĂłn productiva en Brasil— presenta los enfoques que resultaron eficaces para proveer seguridad alimentaria, generaciĂłn de renta e inclusiĂłn social a agricultores familiares en situaciĂłn de pobreza en el Territorio del SertĂłn del San Francisco, en el estado de BahĂa. El trabajo de asistencia tĂ©cnica y extensiĂłn agrĂcola (ATER) para proyectos productivos familiares fue desarrollado entre 2013 y 2016 por el Instituto Regional de la Pequeña Agropecuaria Apropiada (IRPAA). El Ă©xito de esta experiencia se explica en parte por la flexibilidad prevista en el pliego de condiciones y por la metodologĂa paritaria y colectiva del IRPAA en las fases de diagnĂłstico y elaboraciĂłn del proyecto productivo para cada familia.NĂşmero de páginas: 29 p.PolĂticas PĂşblicas e SociaisEste estudio de caso forma parte de una serie de estudios de la Iniciativa Brasileña de Aprendizaje por un Mundo sin Pobreza (WWP, por sus siglas en InglĂ©s)
