Clinical and demographic findings can help make distinctions, as can pertinent immunohistochemical reactions to synaptophysin, chromogranin, neuron-specific enolase (NSE), neurofilament protein (NFP), S-100 protein, keratin, CD45RB, desmin, CD99, and HMB45.
The cells were strongly positive for desmin (Figure 3E,F), suggesting a skeletal muscle origin.
This finding was supported by the results of immunohistochemical staining, which was positive for CD34 (figure 3, B), bcl-2, and vimentin and negative for S-100, smooth-muscle actin, desmin, and keratin AE1/AE3.
