Photomicrographs of immunohistochemical staining of E-cadherin and N-cadherin representing a weak cytoplasmic expression of E-cadherin in the basal half and moderate membranous immunoexpression in the superficial half of the epithelial lining in GOC. b Strong E-cadherin cytoplasmic and membranous immunoexpression in the basal half and moderate to weak E-cadherin immunoexpression in the superficial half of the epithelium in IPDL cyst. c Strong cytoplasmic and membranous immunoexpression of E-cadherin in the whole thickness of the epithelial lining of the DF. d Strong and diffuse N-cadherin immunoexpression in most of the epithelial lining and stromal cells of GOC. e Weak and scattered N-cadherin immune-expression in the epithelial lining and stromal cells of IPDL cyst. f No immunoreaction was noted across the whole thickness of the epithelium in most of DF cases
