SMARCA4-deficient non-small cell carcinoma of the lung is an emerging subtype of lung cancer.[1]

General

  • ~5.1% of non-small cell carcinoma is SMARCA4 deficient in a series of 316 cases.[2]
  • May represent or overlap with what is known as hepatoid adenocarcinoma of the lung.[citation needed]
  • The main differential diagnosis is metastatic adenocarcinoma.

IHC

Features:[1]

  • CK7 +ve.
  • TTF-1 -ve.
  • HepPar-1 +ve (15/20 +ve, 2/20 isolated +ve cells, 3/20 -ve).[1]
  • SMARCA4 -ve.
  • Napsin A -ve (1/28 +ve).[3]

Note:

Sign out

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]
