BACKGROUND/AIM: The aim of the study was to correlate the expression of mismatch repairs proteins (MMR), programmed-death-ligand1 (PDL-1), and estro-progestinic receptors (ER/PgR) in tissue samples from a series of cervical adenocarcinoma (ADC) patients with their clinicopathological features.
MATERIALS AND METHODS: Thirty-nine ADC specimens were retrospectively retrieved from the Division of Pathology of the University Hospital of Pisa from 2015 to 2021. Histological subtype, grade (G), Silva pattern, presence of lymph vascular space invasion (LVI), and perineural invasion (PNI) were annotated. On representative samples, immunostaining for ER/PgR, MLH1, PMS2, MSH2, MSH6, and PDL-1(sp142) was performed.
RESULTS: Thirty-five ADCs were HPV-associated usual type (24 invasive and 11 in situ), 2 were clear cell type, one was a minimal deviation adenocarcinoma (MDA), and one was an invasive stratified mucin-producing carcinoma (iSMC). ADC associated with LVI were mostly G2-3, whereas those associated also with PNI were G3 with Silva pattern C. No difference in the expression of ER/PgR was observed with a dichotomic age stratification (51 years) of patients. Only 6 ADCs were MMR-deficient, all of them were of the usual type (4 invasive and 2 in situ). The heterodimer MLH-1/PMS2 was the one most frequently altered (5/6), whereas only one case had MSH6 loss. None of ADCs express PDL-1, except iSMC which showed PDL-1 expression >1% in neoplastic cells.
CONCLUSION: Both invasive and in situ usual type ADCs indicate MMR deficiency, highlighting how this could be an early event in tumorigenesis. None of the cases, except for iSMC, express PDL-1.
