摘要
Pancreatic solid pseudopapillary neoplasm (SPN) is a low-grade malignant neoplasm with a good prognosis. Clinically aggressive SPNs have rarely been reported but have not been analyzed in detail. In this study, we referred to this highly malignant type of SPN as high-grade SPN (HG-SPN) and compared its clinicopathological and genetic characteristics with conventional SPN (C-SPN) using immunohistochemistry and gene panel analyses. Five HG-SPNs and 15 C-SPNs were evaluated in this study. HG-SPNs share many pathologic characteristics: macroscopically, solid/cystic appearances, microscopically, pseudopapillary/pseudorosette pattern (100%), tumor cell loose cohesiveness (100%), thin/delicate vasculature (100%), tumor cell cytoplasmic vacuolization (100%), immunohistochemical positivity for β-catenin (nuclear expression) (100%), CD10 (80%), CD56 (80%), and vimentin (100%). Conversely, HG-SPNs showed distinct malignant features compared with C-SPNs: mean tumor size (11.7 vs. 2.9 cm, P <0.001); true necrosis (100% vs. 0%, P <0.001); high-grade nuclear atypia (100% vs. 0%, P <0.001); lymphatic and/or venous invasion (100% vs. 20%, P =0.004); mean mitotic count (4.38 vs. 0.05/high-power field, P <0.001); and mean Ki-67 labeling index (33.9% vs. 3.4%, P <0.001). All HG-SPN patients died of primary disease 3 to 36 months after surgery, while all C-SPN patients were alive without disease. Genetic studies have shown that all analyzed HG-SPNs have CTNNB1 mutations. Two HG-SPN cases showed RB1 mutations with altered immunohistochemical findings for RB1 and p16. Two HG-SPN cases had TP53 mutation and/or p53 overexpression. In conclusion, HG-SPNs show distinct malignant features and some genetic alterations that differ from C-SPNs, indicating the importance of differentiating between these 2 subtypes.
