p16 is a commonly used immunostain. It can be considered a surrogate marker for HPV infection. p16, like most other "p" stains, is a nuclear stain.
Pattern
- Nuclear stain +/- cytoplasmic staining.
Use
- Squamous lesions of the uterine cervix - see HSIL.
- Head and neck squamous cell carcinoma, specifically human papillomavirus-associated head and neck squamous cell carcinoma.
Head and neck squamous cell carcinoma
p16 testing is useful in:
- Lymph node metastases with an unknown primary - positivity suggests an oropharyngeal primary.
- Oropharyngeal carcinomas.
Note:
- Like elsewhere, i.e. other anatomical sites, p16 is an imperfect surrogate marker for the presence of HPV.[1]
- Non-oropharyngeal sites (oral cavity, larynx, and hypopharynx) are not well-studied; however, it is known that p16 positivity is much less common in there.[1]
Images
c/w HPV-assoc. SCC - p16 - intermed. mag. (WC/Nephron)
c/w HPV-assoc. SCC - p16 - high mag. (WC/Nephron)
Positive
- Squamous cell carcinoma - esp. cervical SCC, anal SCC, penile SCC, HPV-associated head and neck SCC.
- High grade urothelial carcinoma ~86% of cases by PCR.[2]
- Serous carcinoma of the endometrium - should be strong.[3]
- High-grade squamous intraepithelial lesion - full thickness, strong.
- A subset of LSIL stains with p16; however, it is not full thickness - see HSIL article.
Benign
- p16 endometrial tubal metaplasia.[4]
Negative
