*
Immunostains were carried out in original diagnosing hospital and interpreted in the pathology report. Slides were not obtained for re-interpretation.
#
Immunostains were done during the original autopsy. The slides were obtained and re-interpreted by the author (T.D.O.).
Ψ
Immunostains were carried out by an outside consulting pathologist and re-interpreted by the author (T.D.O.).
For all other samples, new sections were cut from existing tissue and immunostained by the authors. Results were interpreted by the author (T.D.O.).
