  1. Methods of immunohistochemistry: Tissue sections were cut to 4 μm thick and immunohistochemically stained using paraffin sections of surgical specimens. Heat-induced epitope retrieval was performed by heating deparaffinized sections in buffer (Nichirei Histofine, pH 9.0) (Nichirei Bioscience Co. Ltd. Tokyo, Japan) for 30 min at 98 °C for CAM5.2, CD56, Ki-67, CD10, estrogen receptor, progesterone receptor, CD99, inhibin α, and cycline D1. The slides were developed using 3,3′-Diaminobenzidine and were counterstained with hematoxylin. All antibodies were used at a dilution of 1:50
