BACKGROUND: HPV- associated squamous cell carcinoma (SCC) is uncommon in non-oropharynx sites and not well characterized. This study aims to investigate uncommon phenotypes of HPV-associated head and neck carcinoma, the prevalence and morphologic spectrum of HPV-associated SCC in the oral cavity, larynx and hypopharynx.
METHOD: P16 immunostaining and HPV E6/7 in situ hybridization (ISH) were performed on tissue microarrays comprised of SCCs from different anatomic sites: oropharynx (n = 270), hypopharynx (n = 52), oral cavity (n = 95) and larynx (n = 123). Tumors were classified as HPV-associated based on a positive E6/7 ISH testing. RNA sequencing was performed on several selected cases.
RESULT: 66% oropharynx SCCs (OPSCCs) were HPV-associated; all were p16/HPV testing concordant except one which was p16 negative. The p16-/HPV + OPSCC resembled similar gene expression signature with p16+/HPV + OPSCCs by transcriptome analysis. 6/95 (6%) oral cavity SCCs were HPV-associated, all from male patients and 5/6 (83%) arose from the floor of mouth. Morphologically, 3/6 (50%) showed keratinizing SCC and 5/6 (83%) demonstrated HPV-associated squamous dysplasia in adjacent mucosa. 1/123 (less than 1%) larynx SCCs and 0/52 hypopharynx SCCs were HPV-associated.
CONCLUSION: Although uncommon, p16 negative HPV-associated OPSCC can occur, emphasizing the importance of judicious HPV testing. The morphology of HPV-associated oral cavity SCCs may deviate from prototypic nonkeratinizing SCC, making them difficult to recognize. Presence of HPV-associated squamous dysplasia could serve as a morphologic clue.
