The tumour stains as follows:
POSITIVE: CK7 (diffuse, strong), HepPar-1 (strong, diffuse).
NEGATIVE: TTF-1, napsin A, p63, CK5/6.
 
The staining pattern for this tumour is not typical for lung adenocarcinoma; please correlate with the clinical findings.
 
HepPar-1 POSITIVITY with CK7 POSITIVITY and TTF-1 NEGATIVITY may be seen in SMARCA4-deficient adenocarcinoma of the lung.[1]

Revision as of 20:12, 21 August 2025

Thoracic SMARCA4-deficient undifferentiated tumour is poorly differentiated malignancy of the thorax.[1]

General

  • It was debated whether it is a poorly differentiated carcinoma or a sarcoma.[2]
  • WHO recognized entity as of 2021.[3]

Microscopic

Features:

IHC

  • SMARCA4 (BRG1) loss (~75% of cases) or strongly reduced (~25% of cases) - definitional.
  • AE1/AE3 -ve or focal.
  • Synaptophysin +ve.
  • Chromogranin -ve.
