Immunohistochemistry for the gallbladder paraganglioma. (A) The difference between neuroendocrine epithelial tumor (NET/NEC) and neuroendocrine non-epithelial tumor (PHEO/PARA) is that the former expresses broad-spectrum pan-cytokeratin (CK-pan), which was negative here, meaning that the tumor was of non-epithelial origin. (B–D) Traditional general neuroendocrine markers, including chromogranin A (CgA), neuron-specific enolase (NSE), and synaptophysin (Syn), were all positive. (E) S-100 staining highlights surrounding sustentacular cells. (F) The Ki-67 proliferation index of tumor cells was 10%. The typical positive expression of each marker in the figures is indicated by black arrows.
