Table 3 The distribution of F-cells detected immunohistochemically in retinoblastoma patients
From: Foetal haemoglobin-blood cells (F-cells) as a feature of embryonic tumours (blastomas)
No | Gender | Age (years) | F-cells features (1) Checked in tumour tissues | Staining grade | ||
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
1 | Male | 1 | In BV, 50–100% Fc, 20–50% of them Feb. Proliferation of such BV and of free Fer,Feb clusters. Congestions of Fc in haemorrhagic regions. Some Feb in mitosis, or as binucleated. | (+++) | ||
2 | Male | 1 | Same as above | (+++++) | ||
3 | Male | 1 | Same as above | (+++++) | ||
4 | Male | 2 | Same as above | (+++++) | ||
5 | Male | 1 | BV | PBV | TC | Â |
|  |  |  | Fer++ | (−) | Fer | (+++++) |
6 | Male | 1/12 | Fer++ | (−) | Fer,Feb | (++++) |
7 | Female | 4 | Fer+ | (−) | Feb | (+++++) |
8 | Female | 1 | No Fc | (−) | Feb | (+++++) |
9 | Male | 11 | (−) | Fer+ | No Fc | (+++) |
10 | Male | 2 | No Fc | (−) | Feb | (+) |
11 | Female | 5 | No Fc | (−) | Feb | (++) |
12–14 | 1 Male 2 female | 1, 2, 4 | No Fc | (−) | ||
15 | Female | 4 | (2) Checked in bone marrow Clusters of Fc , predominantly Feb, throughout the whole section. | (+++++) | ||
16 | Female | 3 | Same as above | (+++++) | ||
17 | Female | 4 | Same as above | (+++++) | ||
18 | Male | 3 | No Fc | (−) | ||
