Table 2 Immunohistochemistry
| Marker | Result | Clinical significance |
| Panel A: Mesenchymal tumor differentiation | ||
| SMA | Positive | Supports leiomyoma origin |
| Desmin | Positive | Supports leiomyoma origin |
| CD117 (KIT) | Focally positive | Helps rule out GIST |
| DOG-1 | Negative | Helps rule out GIST |
| SDHB | Intact | Rules out SDH-deficient GIST |
| CD34 | Negative/intact vascular staining | Not typical for GIST in this context/no evidence of lymphovascular invasion identified |
| S-100 | Negative/nerves highlighted | Helps rule out schwannoma/no perineural invasion identified |
| Panel B: Epithelial tumor characterization | ||
| CK7 | Positive | Consistent with gastric origin |
| CK20 | Rarely positive | Common profile for gastric adenocarcinoma |
| Mucin-2 | Negative | Suggests intestinal-type differentiation |
| Mucin 5AC | Focally positive | Suggests gastric/gastrointestinal differentiation |
| Mucin 6 | Rarely positive | Suggests gastric differentiation |
| CDX-2 | Positive | Supports intestinal-type differentiation |
| Panel C: Proliferation and tumor suppressor markers | ||
| Ki-67 | 1%-5% +/80% (in hotspot regions) | Indicates a high proliferative index |
| P53 | 90% positive, located in the cell nucleus. Positive tumor cells account for approximately 85% | Suggests underlying TP53 gene mutation |
| Her-2 | (1+) negative, positive tumor cells account for approximately 10% | May have implications for targeted therapy |
| MSH-6 | (+) located in the cell nucleus. Positive tumor cells account for approximately 10% | The mismatch repair function is missing |
| MlH-1 | (+) located in the cell nucleus. Positive tumor cells account for approximately 95% | Prompt to save the mismatch repair function |
