BACKGROUND: Distinguishing porocarcinoma from squamous cell carcinoma (SCC) is clinically significant but can pose a diagnostic dilemma. The present study sought to confirm the diagnostic utility of CD117 immunohistochemistry in distinguishing porocarcinoma from SCC and to examine histologic, carcinoembryonic antigen (CEA) immunohistochemical and CA19-9 immunohistochemical differences between these tumors.
METHODS: Immunostaining with anti-CD117, anti-CEA and anti-CA19-9 antibodies was performed for 22 porocarcinomas and 31 SCCs. The extent of CD117, CEA and CA19-9 staining was classified as negative (<1%), rarely positive (1-4%), focally positive (5-29%) or diffusely positive (30-100%). CD117 staining intensity was semi-quantitatively graded as weak, moderate or strong.
RESULTS: All (100%) porocarcinomas were positive for CD117, with mainly focal (8/22) or diffuse (11/22) and moderate (9/22) to strong (8/22) staining. In contrast, only 6 of 31 SCCs (19.4%) expressed CD117 focally, and this expression was limited to the basal layer of the tumor in four cases. CEA immunostaining highlighted the lumina of all 22 porocarcinomas; however, CEA expression was not significantly different between porocarcinomas and SCCs (100 vs. 71.0%, respectively). CA19-9 was not expressed in the lumina of 5 of 22 porocarcinomas.
CONCLUSIONS: Along with CEA, CD117 immunohistochemistry could be helpful in distinguishing porocarcinomas from SCCs.
