Histological characteristics of HPV-associated and -independent squamous cell carcinomas of the vulva: A study of 1594 cases

There are at least two different etio-pathogenic pathways for the development of vulvar squamous cell carcinoma (VSCC): one associated with infection by human papillomavirus (HPV) and another independent of HPV. We aimed to describe the histological characteristics of HPV-associated and HPV-independ...

description There are at least two different etio-pathogenic pathways for the development of vulvar squamous cell carcinoma (VSCC): one associated with infection by human papillomavirus (HPV) and another independent of HPV. We aimed to describe the histological characteristics of HPV-associated and HPV-independent tumors and to determine the best strategy to identify HPV in VSCC. A single paraffin block was available for review from a series of 1594 VSCCs. In all cases HPV DNA detection was analyzed using the SPF10PCR/DEIA/LiPA25 system and p16 immunohistochemistry (IHC). A tumor was considered as unquestionably HPV-associated if both HPV DNA and p16 IHC were positive. A tumor was considered indisputably HPV-independent if both HPV DNA and p16 IHC were negative. Two groups of tumors were classified as non-conclusive: 1) HPV DNA+/p16-; and 2) HPV DNA-/p16+. WHO typing and a thorough histological evaluation were conducted in all cases. 441 tumors were HPV DNA+ with 367 cases (23.0%) being HPV DNA+/p16+. These HPV DNA+/p16+ tumors were more frequently basaloid or warty (49.8%), but 36.5% were of the keratinizing type. 1153 tumors were HPV DNA-, with 1060 cases (66.5%) being HPV DNA-/p16-. These HPV DNA-/p16- tumors were mostly keratinizing (81.2%) but were occasionally basaloid or warty (5.2%). The features of HPV DNA-/p16+ cases (n=93) were similar to those of the HPV-associated VSCC, and HPV DNA+/p16- (n=74) cases had a more diverse profile, although they were more similar to HPV-independent tumors. Several histological characteristics were more frequently associated with HPV-related VSCC (koilocytotic-like change, necrosis, moderate to marked pleomorphism, invasive front in nests; p

In conclusion, histological criteria do not allow differentiation between HPV-associated and -independent VSCC. p16 alone is a clinically easy strategy to determine HPV status in VSCC.
