From: Gangliocytic paraganglioma: a multi-institutional retrospective study in Japan
Scatter plots of the ratios of the number of tumor components (epithelioid, spindle-shaped, and ganglion-like cells) in 12 patients with duodenal gangliocytic paraganglioma. Legend: (A) A significant negative correlation was found between the percentage of epithelioid and spindle-shaped cells in the 12 patients with gangliocytic paraganglioma. The correlation coefficient was −1.0 (Pearson’s product-moment correlation coefficient; P < 0.001). (B) A significant negative correlation was found between the percentages of epithelioid to ganglion-like cells in the 12 patients with gangliocytic paraganglioma. The correlation coefficient was −0.78 (Pearson’s product-moment correlation coefficient; P < 0.001). (C) A significant positive correlation was found between the percentages of spindle-shaped to ganglion-like cells in the 12 patients with gangliocytic paraganglioma. The correlation coefficient was 0.78 (Pearson’s product-moment correlation coefficient; P < 0.001).
