Objective To investigate the clinicopathologic features,diagnosis,differential diagnosis and treatment of sclerosing angiomatoid nodular transformation(SANT). Methods The clinical data,pathologic characteristics,immunophenotype and postoperative follow-up of SANT were analysed. Results There were no specific findings in the clinical manifestations of the 4 cases of SANT.Grossly,the cut surface of the masses was gray-white and vague nodularity was observed.Microscopically,it was characterized by the multinodular angiomatoid appearance in a fibrosclerotic stroma.The nodules were composed of slit-like,sinusoid-like vascular spaces and were interspersed with a population of spindly or ovoid cells.It was revealed by immunohistochemistry that the expression of CD34 in some vessels' endothelial cells was positive,and CD8 was negative.While in another vessels' endothelial cells,CD8 was positive and CD34 was negative.The expression of SMA,Actin,Vimentin,Collage IV and CD68 was positive in all of the 4 cases,while that of CD21,Desmin and NSE was negative.No relapse or metastasis was found during the follow-up.Conclusion SANT is a rarely encountered benign lesion of the spleen,which should be distinguished from the malignant tumor of the spleen.The diagnosis counts on the pathologic and immunohistochemical findings.It could be cured by splenectomy with a favourable prognosis.

Objective To analyze the assessment results of iodine deficiency disorders(IDD) External Quality Control Laboratories at all levels in Guizhou province and the network operation to further standardize and improve the laboratory, improve network performance, provide reliable laboratory quality assurance for epidemiological surveillance and control of IDD and reliable decision-making. Methods The results of different level of IDD labs in Guizhou that took part in the entire country's IDD lab exo-network quality control examination of 1999 - 2008, which organized by the nation iodine deficiency disorder reference lab were analyzed. Results In the past 10 years, except the provincial laboratory examination results of urinary iodine in 2000 was failed, the other results were all qualified in the rest 9 years;iodized salt examination results were qualified. The urinary iodine laboratory response rate of Guizhou provinces and municipalities(state, district), from 1999 to 2002, were 88.9%(8/9), 66.7%(6/9), 77.8%(7/9), 66.7%(6/9), respectively, and the rate was stable at 100% from 2003 to 2008. Qualifying rate reached 100% in 2007, the remaining 9 years were 33.0%(3/9) - 88.9%(8/9). The iodized salt laboratory response rates were 100%(9/9) in 2000 - 2008. The pass rates were 77.8%(7/9), 88.9%(8/9),77.8%(7/9) from 2001 to 2003, 88.9%(8/9) in 2007, and the remaining 5 years 100%. Response rate of iodized salt laboratory at the county level that participated in the External Quality Control were 66.7% (20/30), 90.0%(27/30), 80.0% (24/30), 96.7% (29/30) from 2000 to 2003, respectively, and 2006 was 96.7% (29/30), and the remaining four years were all 100% (30/30). The pass rates in 2000 - 2008 were between 53.3% (16/30) -93.3%(28/30). Conclusions The accuracy of test results of external quality controls and the normal operation of the network at all levels of laboratories is closely related to the IDD laboratory conditions, detection techniques, and the degree of attention of relevant departments and professional bodies.
