- Abstract:
- Compared with vulva, precursor lesions of human papillomavirus (HPV)-independent invasive squamous cell carcinoma (SCC) of the penis are insufficiently characterized. We analyzed the histologic and immunohistochemical characteristics of 70 peritumoral precursor lesions and correlated them with the histology and mutational profile of the adjacent HPV-negative invasive penile SCC. Atypical basal keratinocyte proliferation with variously elongated epithelial rete with premature squamatiziation, but regular superficial cornification, termed differentiated penile intraepithelial neoplasia (d-PeIN), were identified adjacent to 42/70 (60%) SCC (36/42 keratinizing (P<0.001); 3 papillary, and 1 each verrucous, clear cell, sarcomatoid SCC). d-PeIN were associated with chronic inflammatory dermatoses (32/42; P<0.001), p53 overexpression (26/42; P<0.001), and hotspot mutations in TP53 (32/42; P<0.001), CDKN2A (26/42; P<0.001) or both (21/42; P=0.003) in the adjacent SCC. Cytoplasmic p16ink4a overexpression in 5/42 d-PeIN correlated with CDKN2A missense mutations in the adjacent SCC. In all, 21/70 (30%) cornified verrucous or glycogenated verruciform precursors with minimal atypia and wild-type p53 (18/21; P<0.001) occurred adjacent to verrucous or papillary SCC (17/21; P<0.001) and keratinizing (4/21) SCC, which harbored mutations in HRAS and/or PIK3CA (12/21; P<0.004). Undifferentiated p16ink4a-negative full-thickness precursors were identified in 7/70 (10%) SCC. Four histologically different HPV-independent penile precursor lesions can be assigned to 2 major genetic/biological pathways with characteristic highly differentiated precursors requiring different clinical management decisions. These include d-PeIN in chronic inflammatory dermatoses, with p53 overexpression and TP53/CDKN2A mutations, and the p53 wild-type verrucous and verruciform precursors unassociated with dermatoses, but with mutations in oncogenes PIK3CA and HRAS.
