An Improved Approach to Diagnosing and Treating Conjunctival Mucoepidermoid Carcinoma
2012, Survey of OphthalmologyCitation Excerpt :Both CSCC and MECC are easily overlooked because they may grow as inconspicuous juxtalimbal lesions without appreciable tumefaction.8,21,32 Probably the most reliable tip-off to this rare type of placoid lesion is the coexistence of a skein of corkscrew or hairpin vessels betokening an underlying stromal sessile papillary architecture that supplies the dysplastic epithelium.22,39 The involved epithelium may also be subtly opalescent and show punctate staining with supravital dyes.
Histochemical analysis and immunohistochemical profile of mucoepidermoid carcinoma of the conjunctiva
2012, Saudi Journal of OphthalmologyCitation Excerpt :As was expected, mucicarmine, alcian blue, and colloidal iron had an identical staining pattern, each staining 7 of 8 specimens tested and each negative for the same specimen. As is often the convention in previous reports of MECC and mucoepidermoid carcinoma elsewhere in the body, we chose mucicarmine as our preferred method for showing mucinous production in the specimens because of its specificity for mucin and its relative ease for screening because of the high contrast between the mucin and the background staining (Fig. 2C).8,9 Mucicarmine showed a sensitivity of 88% and a specificity of 100% in differentiating MECC from SCC; CEA (Fig. 2D), a sensitivity of 83% and a specificity of 75%; and mucin-1, a sensitivity of 100% and a specificity of 25%.
