中枢神経系内の上皮性嚢腫は,その発生部位により種々のものが存在するが,その起源については未だに不明な点が多い。21例の上皮性嚢腫(第3脳室Colloid cyst(CC)6例,トルコ鞍部Rathke's Cleft Cyst(RCC)8例,後頭蓋窩enterogenous cyst 2例,脊椎管内epithelial cyst(EC)2例,大脳neuroectodermal cyst 3例)を対象とし,モノクローナル抗体であるCytokeratins(CK:simple type,stratified type,skin type),GFAPを用い免疫組織学的にその起源について検討した。enterogenous cyst,neuroectodermal cystは,各々のoriginを反映する様にsimple epitheliaに見るsimple type CKのみを発現した。一方,CCと脊椎管内ECは共にsimple type CK優位であるが,stratified type CKをbasal ce11に発現する傾向を示した。この発現様式は外胚葉由来の表皮のものと全く異なり内胚葉由来の上気道粘膜上皮に酷似し,内胚葉由来が示唆された。RCCはsimple type CK優位であるが,8例中4例に同一細胞内に種々のCKの共存を示し,skin type differentiationの発現は外胚葉由来を示唆したが,8例中5例に少数であるがGFAP陽性細胞をも認めその起源の複雑さを示した。
Twenty one cases of epithelial cysts in the central nervous system including six colloid cysts of the third ventricle, eight Rathke's cleft cysts in the sella, two enterogenous cysts in the posterior fossa, two epithelial cysts in the spinal canal and three neuroectodermal cysts in the cerebrum were examined immunohistochemically for expression of intermediate filamentous proteins-simple type, stratified type and skin type cytokeratins and GFAP. Colloid cysts of the third ventricle. Rathke's cleft cysts in the sella and epithelial cysts in the spinal canal expressed complexed type cytokeratins while enterogenous cysts and neuroectodermal cysts showed only simple type cytokeratins. In addition, several Rathke's cleft cysts demonstrated skin type differentiation and expressed GFAP in occasional lining cells. The characteristic composition and distribution of cytokeratins in various kinds of epithelial cysts in the central nervous system are demonstrated and discussed with regards to their origins.
