To this aim, we reviewed pathologicalprocesses, including original contributions, in which TCs/CD34+SCs are conserved, increased, and lost,or acquire a specific arrangement. The pathologic processes in which TCs/CD34+SCs are studied inadipose tissue include inflammation and repair through granulation tissue, iatrogenic insulin-amyloidtype amyloidosis, non-adipose tissue components (nerve fascicles and fibres in neuromas andhyperplastic neurogenic processes) and tumours (signet ring carcinoma with Krukenberg tumourand colon carcinoma) growing in adipose tissue, adipose tissue tumours (spindle cell lipoma,dendritic fibromyxolipoma, pleomorphic lipoma, infiltrating angiolipoma of skeletal muscle andelastofibrolipoma), lipomatous hypertrophy of the interatrial septum, nevus lipomatosus cutaneoussuperficialis of Hoffman–Zurhelle and irradiated adipose tissue of the perirectal and thymic regions.Two highly interesting issues emerged: (1) whether the loss of CD34 expression in TCs/CD34+SCs isby changes in marker expression or the disappearance of these cells (the findings suggest the firstpossibility) and (2) whether in some invasive and metastatic malignant tumours, TCs/CD34+SCs thatcompletely surround neoplastic cells act as nurse and/or isolating cells. Further studies are requiredon adipose tissue TCs/CD34+SCs, mainly in lipomatosis and obesity.
