Abstract

When the presence of endometriotic lesions are not evident by hematoxylin and eosin staining, CD10 is used to highlight and confirm the presence of endometriotic stroma. However, CD10 is not specific only to the endometrial stroma but is also expressed in many other cells. Recently, interferon-inducible transmembrane protein 1 (IFITM1) was reported as a highly specific immunohistochemical marker of normal endometrial stroma and endometrial stromal neoplasm. In this study, we examined the expression of IFITM1 and CD10 in 18 cases of ovarian endometriosis and 44 cases of extragenital endometriosis. Among the 62 patients, 62 (100.0%) were positive for IFITM1 and 60 (96.8%) for CD10, and CD10 was negative in 2 cases that were positive for IFITM1. Additionally, we found that IFITM1 sensitivity was unaffected by the presence or absence of hormonal therapy. To the best of our knowledge, this represents the first demonstration of IFITM1 as a highly sensitive stromal marker of ovarian and extragenital endometriosis.

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
