Prostate-specific antigen (PSA), a glycoprotein initially thought to be produced only by the epithelial cells of the prostate, has recently been found in 30% of female breast tumours using immunofluorometry. Our aim was to localize PSA immunohistochemically in a selected group of 27 paraffin-embedded breast tissues. A scoring system was developed for the histological assessment of PSA positivity within the breast tissue. One pathologist (DH) scored, classified and graded all tumours. Site-specific PSA staining was noted in the histology slides. Intense staining was identified in apocrine metaplasia and within the lining ductal epithelium of cystically dilated ducts. The epithelium in lesions of sclerosing adenosis was also frequently positive for PSA staining. Hyperplastic ductal epithelium (especially of mild degree) occasionally stained positive, as did normal breast ducts. Better differentiated tumours showed PSA staining [e.g. mucinous carcinoma (colloid)]. If an infiltrating duct carcinoma showed staining for PSA, adjacent intraductal carcinoma was also noted to stain positively, if present.

前列腺特异性抗原(PSA)是一种最初被认为仅由前列腺上皮细胞产生的糖蛋白,最近在30%的女性乳腺肿瘤中使用免疫荧光法发现了这种蛋白。我们的目标是通过免疫组织化学方法将PSA定位在27个石蜡包埋的乳腺组织中。开发了评分系统用于乳腺组织内PSA阳性的组织学评估。一名病理学家(DH)对所有肿瘤进行了评分,分类和分级。组织学幻灯片中记录了位点特异性PSA染色。在顶泌化生和囊性扩张管的衬里导管上皮中鉴定到强染色。硬化性腺病病灶中的上皮也常对PSA染色呈阳性。增生性导管上皮(尤其是轻度导管)偶尔染色为阳性,正常乳腺导管也是如此。分化更好的肿瘤表现出PSA染色[例如粘液癌(胶体)]。如果浸润性导管癌显示PSA染色,则也可以发现邻近的导管内癌也呈阳性染色。
