p63 is a commonly used immunostain. p63, like most other "p" stains, is a nuclear stain.
Pattern
- Nuclear staining.
Note:
- Cytoplasmic staining suggestive of muscle differentiation - seen in rhabdomyosarcoma.[1]
Classic use
Subtype marker:
- Marker of squamous cell carcinoma.
- Urothelial carcinoma.[2]
Thresholding (invasive vs. pre-invasive):
- Prostate basal cell marker.
- Breast myoepithelial cell marker.
Non-classic tumours
- Di Como et al[3] looked at a large cross-section of tumours.
- Jo and Fletcher[4] did a paper on soft tissue lesions and p63.
