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.
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.[1]
- Serous carcinoma of the endometrium - should be strong.[2]
- 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.[3]
Negative
