Absence of High-Risk Human Papillomavirus (HPV) Detection in Endocervical Adenocarcinoma with Gastric Morphology and Phenotype

Abstract: A subset of endocervical-type mucinous adenocarcinomas (ACs) of the uterine cervix exhibit a gastric phenotype and morphology, as reported in cases of minimal deviation AC in which the presence of human papillomavirus (HPV) has been rarely detected. To investigate the HPV-independent pathway of carcinogenesis in cases of gastric-type AC, we investigated the common high-risk HPV (hr-HPV) status in 52 nonsquamous cell carcinomas , using a PCRbased typing method and immunohistochemistry of p16INK4a (a cyclin-depe… Show more

“…HPV genotypes were determined using the polymerase chain reaction method. Patients were categorized, according to HPV L1 protein sequence homology, into the HPV α-9 (HPV 16,31,33, 52, and 58),39, 45, 59, and 68) or 'other' (HPV 51 and 56) groups. Associations between HPV genotype and clinical outcome following RT were evaluated.…”

“…22 Mucinous carcinoma has a known noninvasive precursor lesion, lobular endocervical glandular hyperplasia ( Figure 13). In histologic specimens, mucinous carcinoma commonly presents as tall mucin-producing glands penetrating the cervical wall with minimal if any stromal reaction and minimal cytologic atypia, hence the synonyms 'adenoma malignum' or 'minimal-deviation adenocarcinoma'…”

“…The former, which represent the vast majority, are referred to as endocervical adenocarcinomas of usual type and the latter are dominated by the gastric-type mucinous adenocarcinomas, which include minimal deviation adenocarcinoma. [1][2][3][4][5][6][7][8] Both types pose a number of diagnostic challenges for practicing pathologists. The most commonly encountered diagnostic problems include the following: (1) diagnosing invasion for high-risk HPV-related (usual type) endocervical adenocarcinomas of usual type, particularly for the common well differentiated and often superficial forms which must be distinguished from extensive endocervical adenocarcinoma in situ (AIS); (2) distinguishing high-risk HPV-related endocervical adenocarcinomas from endometrial endometrioid carcinomas and their related subtypes, which include those with mucinous and metaplastic-type differentiation; and (3) distinguishing benign mucinous endocervical glandular proliferations, including the various forms of endocervical glandular hyperplasia, from gastric-type mucinous endocervical adenocarcinomas, particularly the very well differentiated minimal deviation type.…”

“…These adenocarcinomas are characterized by glands lined by cells with abundant pale to eosinophilic cytoplasm and distinct cell borders, with evident malignant cytologic features (vesicular nuclei often with prominent nucleoli), and vary from well to poorly differentiated (Figures 10a-d). 3,6,7,19 Minimal deviation adenocarcinomas (adenoma malignum) represent the highly differentiated form of this tumor. 20 They are characterized by numerous deceptively bland glands, which often lack surrounding stromal desmoplasia.…”
