| Abstract | The objective of the study was to investigate whether special stains can differentiate gastrointestinal stromal tumors (GISTs) and gastrointestinal leiomyomas (GILs). In this retrospective study, 39 cases of GISTs (diameter, 0.2–8.8 cm) and 75 cases of GILs (diameter, 0.2–4.5 cm) were recruited, all biopsy specimens were obtained by endoscopic submucosal dissection (ESD) and endoscopic mucosal resection (EMR) excision, and the depth of excision included the whole mucosa, mucosal myometria, and most submucosa. GISTs and GILs were the most common types of mesenchymal tumors found anywhere along the gastrointestinal (GI) tract, from the esophagus to the rectum. GISTs were often associated with a higher risk of malignancy. In this study, the gender, age of onset, size and sites of the lesions, together with the number of mucosal or lamina propria lesions all have significant differences, nevertheless, there was no significant difference in cell morphology of GISTs and GILs tested by hematoxylin eosin (H&E) stain, and all showed low echo areas by EUS examination. In this retrospective study, the GISTs and GILs had been diagnosed by immunohistochemistry combined with clinical morphology. Subsequently, special stains including Masson’s trichrome (MT) stain, Alcian blue periodic acid-Schiff (AB-PAS) stain (pH 2.5), Wright-Giemsa (W-G) stain and periodic acid-Schiff (PAS) combined with diastase periodic acid-Schiff (D-PAS) stains were also applied in the diagnosis, the retrospective study results showed that 92.3% GISTs were stained blue with MT stain, 97.3% GILs were stained red with MT stain (P < 0.01), almost all GISTs were PAS-negative (light purple), in contrast, all GILs were PAS-positive (rose red) (P < 0.01), all of these experiments set control using the blood vessels stained by MT and AB-PAS stains. Nevertheless, there was no significant difference between GISTs and GILs stained by W-G stain. These obvious and meaningful differential results were also confirmed in the detection of new GISTs and GILs cases using MT and AB-PAS stains. In conclusion, MT and AB-PAS stains could also identify GISTs and GILs cases, particularly, AB-PAS was more sensitive and more specific, providing a more cost-effective, simple, and high sensitivity and specificity inspection methods, which should be noticed and widely used in the future, especially in resource-limited grass-roots testing institution or in cases with inconclusive immunostains or insufficient material. |

National Digital Library of India (NDLI) is a virtual repository of learning resources which is not just a repository with search/browse facilities but provides a host of services for the learner community. It is sponsored and mentored by Ministry of Education, Government of India, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT). Filtered and federated searching is employed to facilitate focused searching so that learners can find the right resource with least effort and in minimum time. NDLI provides user group-specific services such as Examination Preparatory for School and College students and job aspirants. Services for Researchers and general learners are also provided. NDLI is designed to hold content of any language and provides interface support for 10 most widely used Indian languages. It is built to provide support for all academic levels including researchers and life-long learners, all disciplines, all popular forms of access devices and differently-abled learners. It is designed to enable people to learn and prepare from best practices from all over the world and to facilitate researchers to perform inter-linked exploration from multiple sources. It is developed, operated and maintained from Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur.
