FIGURE 1

Expression of mucins and CKs in the cytological aspect. MUC1 was expressed in membranous portion of epithelial cells (A, 200×). MUC2 expression was cytoplasmic and high positive in mucinous carcinoma (B, 200×). MUC5AC was stained in cytoplasmic portion of epithelial cells and mainly ductal cells (C, 200×). MUC6 expression was almost negative except in the lower glandular zone of the stomach (D, 100×). CK7 was diffusely expressed in cytoplasm of ductal cells (E, 200×). CK20 was strongly and diffusely expressed in membranous portion of epithelium and well differentiated carcinoma (F, 200×).
