P16
Immunostain in short

HSIL showing the characteristic p16 staining. (WC/Nephron)
Similar stains HPV
Use HSIL versus LSIL, HPV associated SCC versus non-HPV associated SCC
Subspeciality gynecologic pathology, head and neck pathology
Normal staining pattern nuclear and cytoplasmic
Positive endometrial tubal metaplasia, cervical SCC, HPV-associated head and neck SCC, serous carcinoma of the endometrium
Endocervical AIS showing the characteristic p16 staining.

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. The antibody target is a cell cycle protein, cyclin-dependent kinase inhibitor 2A, sometimes denoted p16INK4a.

Pattern

  • Nuclear stain +/- cytoplasmic staining.

Use

Head and neck squamous cell carcinoma

p16 testing is useful in:

  1. Lymph node metastases with an unknown primary - positivity suggests an oropharyngeal primary.
  2. Oropharyngeal carcinomas.

Note:

  • Like elsewhere, i.e. other anatomical sites, p16 is an imperfect surrogate marker for the presence of HPV.[3]
  • 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.[3]

Images

  • c/w HPV-assoc. SCC - p16 - intermed. mag. (WC/Nephron)

  • c/w HPV-assoc. SCC - p16 - high mag. (WC/Nephron)

Positive

Note:

  • Positive staining (in the head and neck pathology context) is defined as (strong block) positive staining in >75% (or >50%) of lesional cells.[7]
    • Staining varies somewhat by the p16 clone used.

Benign

  • p16 endometrial tubal metaplasia.[8]

Focal staining

Negative
