Pulmonary tumor thrombotic microangiopathy induced by gastric carcinoma: Morphometric and immunohistochemical analysis of six autopsy cases

Table 4 Immunohistochemical examinations of gastric and pulmonary tissue sections in each pulmonary tumor thrombotic microangiopathy case.

TF: Tissue factor, VEGF: Vascular endothelial growth factor, OPN: Osteopontin
No differences were found for gastric and pulmonary tissue sections in our immunohistochemical examinations. All cases showed positive reactivity for tissue factor, five cases showed positive reactivity for vascular endothelial growth factor (Case 2, 3, 4, 5, and 6), and three cases showed positive reactivity for osteopontin (Case 3, 5, and 6).
