Immunohistochemical characterization of peritoneal inclusion cysts with squamous metaplasia
Aims Peritoneal inclusion cysts (PICs) are mesothelial‐lined cysts that can uncommonly develop squamous metaplasia. Here, we describe the immunophenotype of PICs with squamous metaplasia using a comprehensive immunohistochemical (IHC) panel. Methods and results We collected surgical excisions of PICs with squamous metaplasia from our institution and ...
