| CDX2 | |
|---|---|
| Immunostain in short | |
 CDX2 immunostaining in the papillary thyroid carcinoma cribriform morular variant. | |
| Abbreviation | CDX2 |
| Normal staining pattern | nuclear |
| Positive | colorectal adenocarcinoma, small bowel adenocarcinoma, yolk sac tumour, ovarian mucinous adenocarcinoma |
| Negative | lung adenocarcinoma |
CDX2 is a commonly used immunostain in pathology. It is a nuclear stain.
Normal
- Intestinal epithelium.[1]
Pathology
Positive
- Intestinal adenocarcinomas - esp. colorectal adenocarcinoma.
- Ovarian mucinous adenocarcinoma +ve.[1]
Negative or positive
- Yolk sac tumour (8 of 20 cases - versus glypican-3).[2]
- Small bowel adenocarcinoma +ve/-ve (~43% +ve in series of 189 cases[3]).
Negative
- Lung adenocarcinoma -ve (<5% +ve in 20 cases[4]).
- Choroid plexus papillomas -ve (0 in 65 cases[5]).
- Pituitary adenoma & Craniopharyngioma (0 in 75 and 0 in 23 cases [6]).
