[Microdissection. Use in molecular oncologic dermatology].

Abstract

Microdissection allows the procurement of selective cell populations or single cells of archival sections or frossen tissue. Most cutaneous tumors can not be cultivated or consist of heterogeneous cell populations. Thus, microdissection is an important pre-requisite for molecular genetic analyses of cutaneous neoplasms. This review describes the microdissection and its application in dermatologic oncology is demonstrated.

Intrasellar malignant peripheral nerve sheath tumor (MPNST).

Intracranial malignant peripheral nerve sheath tumors (MPNST) and intrasellar schwannomas are rare tumors. We describe a case of an intrasellar schwannoma with progression to a MPNST, a finding that, although very rare, extends the differential diagnosis of intrasellar lesions.
