CD117, a growth factor receptor protein with tyrosine kinase encoded by a proto-oncogene, is a specific immunohistochemical marker for gastrointestinal stromal tumors. CD117 can also be used to identify mast-cell tumors in lymphomas and as a marker for some testicular germ cell tumors. CD117 is positive in the membrane and cytoplasm of thymic squamous cell carcinoma, which can be distinguished from other squamous cell carcinomas and thymomas.
