Abstract
Immunohistochemical evaluation of primary and secondary (adeno-) carcinomas of the lung often includes utilisation of two different clones (8G7G3/1 or SPT24) of TTF-1 (thyroid transcription factor 1) antibodies. In a subgroup of adenocarcinomas with a primary site other than the lung a positive reaction of clone SPT24 and also of clone 8G7G3/1 is described. We report on a patient with TTF-1 (clone 8G7G3/1) positive adenocarcinoma of the colon with metastases to the eye and lung and discuss TTF-1 based diagnostic considerations.Entities:
