In this study, we aimed to detect Succinate Dehydrogenase Complex Iron Sulfur Subunit B (SDHB) frequency in paragangliomas and pheochromocytomas (PPGL) with immunohistochemistry; compare with Pheochromacytoma of the Adrenal Gland Scaled Score (PASS) classification and analyse the differences between pheochromocytoma (Pheo), head-neck paragangliomas (HNPGL) and thoraco-abdominal-pelvic paraganglioma (TAPPGL) sub-groups.
A total 114 PPGL cases (73 HNPGL, 15 TAPPGL and 27 Pheo belonging to 112 cases) are included. Immunohistochemically, SDHB and Ki-67 are investigated and malignancy risks are determined by PASS classification. Results are assessed statistically with chi-square test and p <0,01 is considered significant.
SDHB mutations are observed in 20 of 114 (17.54 %) PPGL cases, 3 (11,12%) of which is Pheo, 12 (16,44) is HNPGL, and 5 (35,71%) is TAPPGL (P <0,02). While 15/82 (18,29%) cases with SDHB mutations do not have a malignancy potential according to PASS classification, 5/32 (15,63%) cases has (p=0,73). TAPPGL, HNPGL and Pheo sub-groups have a significant difference between SDHB expression (p <0,02), malignancy potential according to PASS classification (p <0,0001) and Ki-67 proliferation index (p <0,0001).
To identify patients for molecular pathological examination, routine application of SDHB immunohistochemistry to PPGL tumors are suggested especially in HNPGLs.
在这项研究中,我们旨在通过免疫组织化学检测嗜铬细胞瘤和副神经节瘤(PPGL)中琥珀酸脱氢酶复合物铁硫亚基 B(SDHB)的频率;与肾上腺嗜铬细胞瘤的评分(PASS)分类进行比较,并分析嗜铬细胞瘤(Pheo)、头颈部副神经节瘤(HNPGL)和胸腹部-盆腔副神经节瘤(TAPPGL)亚组之间的差异。
共纳入 114 例 PPGL 病例(73 例 HNPGL、15 例 TAPPGL 和 27 例 Pheo 来自 112 例患者)。通过免疫组织化学检测 SDHB 和 Ki-67,并通过 PASS 分类确定恶性风险。使用卡方检验进行统计学评估,p<0.01 认为具有统计学意义。
在 114 例 PPGL 病例中观察到 20 例(17.54%)存在 SDHB 突变,其中 3 例(11.12%)为 Pheo,12 例(16.44%)为 HNPGL,5 例(35.71%)为 TAPPGL(p<0.02)。然而,根据 PASS 分类,有 15/82(18.29%)例 SDHB 突变的病例没有恶性潜能,但有 5/32(15.63%)例存在(p=0.73)。TAPPGL、HNPGL 和 Pheo 亚组在 SDHB 表达(p<0.02)、根据 PASS 分类的恶性潜能(p<0.0001)和 Ki-67 增殖指数(p<0.0001)方面存在显著差异。
建议对 PPGL 肿瘤常规应用 SDHB 免疫组织化学检测,以识别需要进行分子病理检查的患者,特别是在 HNPGL 中。
