Abstract
Human papillomavirus (HPV)–related multiphenotypic sinonasal carcinoma (HMSC) is associated with high-risk HPV (HR-HPV) infection. Using HR-HPV messenger RNA (mRNA) in situ hybridization (ISH), we reported 6 new HMSC cases and compared their histopathology with that of sinonasal adenoid cystic carcinoma. Using p16 immunohistochemistry (IHC) and HR-HPV ISH, we retrospectively identified 6 HMSC cases. All HMSC cases were positive for HR-HPV mRNA ISH and p16 IHC. Two HMSC cases had overlying atypical squamous epithelium, and 1 had invasive squamous cell carcinoma (SCC). All HMSC cases were SOX10 positive, whereas the overlying atypical squamous epithelium and the SCC were SOX10 negative. One atypical HMSC-like case was also identified, which was positive for HR-HPV mRNA ISH, HR-HPV DNA ISH, and SOX10 IHC, but negative for p16 IHC. This study showed that HR-HPV mRNA ISH was a useful tool to diagnose HMSC and had stronger signals compared with HR-HPV DNA ISH. HR-HPV E6/E7 mRNA could be identified in the overlying atypical squamous epithelium and the invasive SCC. A combination of p16 and SOX10 IHC will be a useful screening panel for HMSC followed by confirmatory HR-HPV mRNA ISH test. ? 2018 Elsevier Inc.
