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
- Squamous lesions of the uterine cervix - see HSIL.
- Head and neck squamous cell carcinoma, specifically human papillomavirus-associated head and neck squamous cell carcinoma.
- Increased expression in well-differentiated liposarcoma.[1]
- Limited use in melanocytic lesions.[2]
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.[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
- 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.[4]
- Serous carcinoma of the endometrium - should be strong.[5]
- High-grade squamous intraepithelial lesion - full thickness, strong.
- A subset of LSIL stains with p16; however, it is not full thickness - see HSIL article.
- Small cell carcinoma of the lung - most cases (95 of 101 cases in one series[6]).
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
- Endometriosis - focal/weak staining may be seen.[9][10]
Negative
- Lung squamous cell carcinoma[11] - 21% positive (7/33).[12]
