AIMS: Significance of peribiliary capillary plexus (PCP) in gallbladder neoplasms remains unclear. Aims are to characterize high-grade biliary intraepithelial neoplasm (BilIN), pyloric gland adenoma (PGA), and intracholecystic papillary neoplasm (ICPN), precursors of gallbladder carcinoma, and to differentiate invasive carcinoma from pseudo-invasive lesions in gallbladder walls, referring to PCP.
MATERIALS AND METHODS: High-grade BilIN (38 cases), PGA (5 cases), and ICPN (25 cases) were examined using capillary immunostaining. Non-neoplastic gallbladders were used as controls.
RESULTS: In non-neoplastic gallbladders, a single layer of regularly dotted capillaries (PCP) was located beneath lining epithelia and around non-neoplastic glands (NNGs), including Rokitansky-Aschoff sinus (RAS), presenting a two-layer of lining epithelia and PCP. Intra-luminal components of all cases of high-grade BilIN and PGA and one-third of ICPNs presented a two-layer pattern. In the remaining ICPNs, capillaries were irregular and sparse in intraluminal neoplastic components presenting irregular and complicated lesions. Neoplastic glands in gallbladder walls of high-grade BilIN and ICPN were classifiable into 2 types: glands that were underlain by densely dotted capillaries and those that were not, with the latter suggestive of invasive carcinoma, while the former suggestive of non-invasive neoplasms involving NNGs intraepithelially and/or showing an expanding growth into gallbladder wall (pseudo-invasion).
CONCLUSION: A two-layer pattern of lining epithelia and underlining capillaries were preserved in all cases of high-grade BilIN and PGA and one-third of ICPN cases. Presence or absence of dotted capillaries around neoplastic glands may be able to be added as a new pathologic feature to differentiate invasive carcinomas from pseudo-invasion in gallbladder wall.
