a LYVE-1, normal endometrial tissue (NE), 200×. b LYVE-1, periphery regions in endometrial carcinoma (EC) tissue, 200×. c LYVE-1, intratumoral regions in endometrial carcinoma (EC) tissue, 200×. LYVE-1 expression was restricted to irregular shaped endothelial cells without a thick-walled structure. Number of lymphatic vessels was much higher in periphery tumour than intratumoral regions (b and c). d The staining of CD44, normal endometrial tissue (NE), 200×. e CD44, in endometrial carcinoma (EC) tissue without LYVE1+ lymphatic vessels, 200×. f CD44, in endometrial carcinoma (EC) tissue with LYVE1+lymphatic vessels, 200×. The staining of CD44 was stronger in endometrial carcinoma (EC) tissue with LYVE1+lymphatic vessels than without LYVE1+ lymphatic vessels (e and f).
