Phenotypic modulation of fibroblasts in massive ovarian edema: an immunohistochemical study of three cases.

Abstract excerpt

An immunohistochemical study of three cases of massive ovarian edema revealed coexpression of vimentin, total actins, alpha-smooth muscle actin, desmin and low molecular weight cytokeratins in the stromal spindle cells composing the edematous ovarian tissue. In addition these stromal cells expressed smooth muscle myosin which is a marker for terminal smooth muscle differentiation. This remarkable fibroblastic...
