Core Tip
Core Tip: This case of urticaria associated with adenocarcinoma highlights the histopathological report where the thyroid transcription factor 1 (TTF-1) was highly expressed by the lung tissue and its relationship with lung cancer. TTF-1 regulates the transcription of specific genes in the thyroid, lung, and diencephalon. This transcription factor is also known as a thyroid-specific enhancer-binding protein and is used in pathology as a marker to determine whether a tumor arises from the lung or thyroid.
