Popis: | Uterine yolk sac tumors have gained increased recognition in recent years. The current study is a multi-faceted examination of yolk sac tumor-like phenotypes in endometrial tumors, based on an analysis of 3 groups of uterine tumors: Group 1: 9 endometrial tumors that had been classified as yolk sac tumor, or as having a yolk sac tumor component, were assessed with a 35-marker immunohistochemical panel, with the goal of defining their immunophenotypic spectrum; Group 2, comprised of 70 endometrial carcinomas of various histotypes, were analyzed for their expression of SALL4, Glypican-3, and AFP, to assess the specificity of these markers for yolk sac tumors relative to endometrial carcinomas; Group 3, comprised of 626 archived cases of endometrial carcinoma/carcinosarcoma, reviewed to define the frequency of yolk sac tumor-like morphology therein. Yolk sac tumor areas in the Group 1 cases were consistently immunoreactive for SALL4 and Glypican-3; variably positive for AFP (89%), Villin (89%), PLAP (78%), 34βE12 (67%), CAM 5.2 (62.5%), EMA (56%), CD117 (50%), p16 (50%), CDX2 (44%), p53 (44% aberrant), MOC31 (37.5%), CK7 (33%), GATA3 (33%), CK5 (25%), and PAX8 (11%); and were negative for CD30, Napsin A, OCT4, estrogen, androgen, and progesterone receptors. 29 (41%) of the 70 group-2 cases expressed at least one of the 3 markers, and 96% of the positive cases was a high-grade histotype. Glypican-3, SALL4, and AFP were positive in 30, 20, and 2.8% of group-2 cases respectively; however, co-expression of any 2, or all 3 markers was uncommon ( |
