摘要:: Endocrine cell types in 12 argentaffin and six argyrophil carcinoids and in nonneoplastic epithelia of the appendix vermiformis were investigated histochemically, immunohistochemically, and ultrastructurally. The nonneoplastic epithelia contained serotonin (Ser), peptide YY (PYY), glicentin (Gli), neurotensin (Neu), and somatostatin (So) cells in decreasing frequency. Out of 30 nonneoplastic Ser cells examined ultrastructurally, 28 cells were EC1 cells and two were non-EC cells. Eleven of 12 argentaffin carcinoids could be immunostained with anti-Ser serum and all of those 11 were composed almost totally of Ser cells. One of the 11 contained a small number of Neu cells. Ultrastructurally, 11 argentaffin carcinoids were composed predominantly of EC1 and/or ECn cells, and one was composed primarily of non-EC cells. Out of the six argyrophil carcinoids, five were argyrophil, non-argentaffin carcinoids; three consisted almost totally of PYY cells; one consisted of 60% PYY cells, 40% So cells and a few Gli cells; and one consisted of Ser cells alone. Ultrastructurally, the first four of those tumors were composed of D1 and/or L cells and the latter tumor was composed of ECn cells. The remaining one argyrophil carcinoid contained a few Ser-positive argentaffin cells and consisted almost totally of ECn cells which were found in both parts, with and without argentaffinity. It is concluded that the appendiceal carcinoids comprise two distinct groups on the basis of the main constituting cell type: Ser-positive, argentaffin carcinoids, composed of EC cells and peptide (especially of PYY)-positive, and Ser-negative, argyrophil non-argentaffin carcinoids of D1 and/or L cells.
