GATA3 Positivity in Benign Radiated Prostate Glands: A Potential Diagnostic Pitfall.

GATA3在放疗后的良性前列腺腺体中阳性表达:一种潜在的诊断陷阱

Wobker SE,Khararjian A,Epstein JI

Abstract

Histologic changes following radiation therapy to the prostate include multilayering of glands, atrophy, squamous metaplasia, and often marked random nuclear atypia. We have seen multiple consultation cases where the differential diagnosis of these radiated prostate glands included urothelial carcinoma, with multilayered to solid-appearing proliferations that were positive by immunohistochemistry for GATA3. To formally investigate this issue, 30 cases of benign prostate tissue with radiation atypia, from 1990 to 2015, were obtained from our institution. Cases were evaluated by immunohistochemistry for the prostate-specific markers prostate-specific antigen (PSA), P501S (Prostein), and NKX3.1 and urothelial markers GATA3 and uroplakin 2. GATA3 was positive in 100% of cases, with 70% showing moderately strong to strong staining in a mostly patchy manner within a gland. PSA was positive in 93.3% of cases, with 89.2% showing moderately strong to strong staining in a mostly diffuse manner. P501S was positive in 96.7% of cases, with 93.1% showing moderately strong to strong staining in a mostly patchy manner. NKX3.1 was positive in 82.8% of cases, with 33.3% showing moderately strong to strong staining in a mostly patchy manner. Uroplakin 2 was negative in 100% of cases. Our findings highlight that GATA3 is often positive in benign prostate glands with radiation atypia, which along with the morphologic features present a pitfall for the misdiagnosis of urothelial carcinoma. A combination of PSA and P501S is the best prostate-specific panel for use in radiated prostate, with the caveat that they are often patchy and do not stain all radiated glands.

摘要

前列腺放疗后会发生一系列形态学改变,如腺体的多层性、萎缩、鳞状上皮化生,且经常出现显著的核异型性。我们已经碰到过许多例放疗后的前列腺腺体需与尿路上皮癌作鉴别诊断的会诊病例,由于其腺体层数增多乃至实性片状增生且这些区域GATA3免疫组织化学阳性表达。为了阐明这一现象,我们选取了自1990至2015年来自我们机构的30例具有放疗后异型性改变的良性前列腺组织进行研究。这些病例均已行前列腺特异性抗原(PSA)、P501S(Prostein)、NHK3.1以及尿路上皮标记GATA3和uroplakin 2 的免疫组化评估。GATA3在所有病例中均阳性表达,且在70%的标本中甚至每一个腺体中均呈现中等-强阳性的强弱不一的表达。PSA在93.3%的病例中阳性表达,伴89.2%的标本中呈现中等-强着色的弥漫阳性表达。P501S在96.7%的病例中阳性表达,且在93.1%的标本中呈现中等-强阳性的强弱不一的表达。NHK3.1在82.8%的病例中阳性表达,且在33.3%的标本中呈现中等-强阳性的强弱不一的表达。Uroplakin 2 在所有病例中均阴性表达。我们的发现说明GATA3在具有放疗后异型性的良性前列腺腺体中常常出现阳性表达,这一现象再加上形态学特征成为错诊尿路上皮癌的一个陷阱。PSA和P501S的联合运用对于放疗后的前列腺是最佳的、并最具有前列腺特异性的组合,并且提醒我们它们经常为斑片状表达、且并非所有放疗后腺体均有表达。
