To determine useful immunohistochemical markers for tumor cells in extramammary Paget's disease (EMPD), immunohistochemical (IHC) examinations in 17 patients with EMPD, including 4 patients with dermal invasion, were performed. Among the antibodies examined, cytokeratin 7 (CK7) and CK19 were strongly positive for both intraepidermal and dermally invasive tumor cells in all patients. CAM5.2 and mucin 1 (MUC1) were also good markers. Although IHC examination revealed positive for HER-2 in 4 EMPD patients with dermal invasion, 4 out of 13 noninvasive patients were IHC negative. Fluorescence in situ hybridization (FISH) study revealed negative results for HER-2 gene amplification in 8 IHC positive patients, including each 4 patients of both noninvasive and dermal invasive cases. Our results show that besides CK7, CK19 is another favorable marker of tumor cells of EMPD. Four patients with dermal invasion were strongly positive for HER-2, although negative results were obtained in the FISH study. Further investigations are required to confirm the results of the FISH study.
为确定乳腺外佩吉特病(EMPD)肿瘤细胞的有用免疫组化标志物,对17例EMPD患者进行了免疫组化(IHC)检查,其中包括4例有真皮浸润的患者。在所检测的抗体中,细胞角蛋白7(CK7)和CK19在所有患者的表皮内及真皮浸润性肿瘤细胞中均呈强阳性。CAM5.2和黏蛋白1(MUC1)也是良好的标志物。尽管IHC检查显示4例有真皮浸润的EMPD患者HER-2呈阳性,但13例无浸润患者中有4例IHC呈阴性。荧光原位杂交(FISH)研究显示,8例IHC阳性患者(包括4例无浸润和4例真皮浸润病例)的HER-2基因扩增结果为阴性。我们的结果表明,除CK7外,CK19是EMPD肿瘤细胞的另一个良好标志物。4例有真皮浸润的患者HER-2呈强阳性,尽管FISH研究结果为阴性。需要进一步研究以证实FISH研究的结果。
