OBJECTIVES: This study aimed to examine the expression of programmed cell death 1 ligand 2 (PD-L2) in thymoma and thymomatous myasthenia gravis (MG).
METHODS: The records of 70 patients with thymoma receiving surgical resection between January 2017 and December 2018 were retrospectively reviewed. Thymoma PD-L2 expression was evaluated by immunohistochemistry staining. Associations between PD-L2 expression and clinicopathologic features were examined.
RESULTS: PD-L2 expression was positive in 41 patients (58.6%) and negative in 29 patients (41.4%). Of them, 33 had thymomatous MG. Patients with MG were more likely to be 50 years of age or younger (69.70% vs 35.14%); have more World Health Organization (WHO) type B thymomas (84.85% vs 64.86%); have tumors of smaller size (4.09 ± 2.33 cm vs 6.47 ± 2.42 cm); have positive PD-L2 expression (78.79% vs 40.54%); and have a higher percentage of PD-L2-positive cells, higher PD-L2 expression intensity, and score (all P < .05). Positive PD-L2 expression was associated with more type B thymomas, higher Masaoka-Koga stage, smaller tumor size, ectopic thymus, and MG (all P < .05). Factors significantly associated with MG were age under 50 years, tumor size less than 5 cm, and positive PD-L2 expression (all P < .05).
CONCLUSIONS: Thymoma PD-L2 expression is significantly associated with thymomatous MG and WHO histologic types B2 and B3.
