Abstract excerpt

KIT, a tyrosine kinase receptor protein encoded by the proto-oncogene c-kit, is overexpressed in human neoplasms such as gastrointestinal stromal tumors and thymic squamous cell carcinoma. However, the role of KIT expression and mutations in carcinoma showing thymus-like elements is not fully understood. In the current study, 8 cases of carcinoma showing thymus-like elements were reported, and immunohistochemical...
