ABSTRACT
Abnormal p53 (p53abn) immunohistochemical (IHC) staining patterns can be found in vulvar squamous cell carcinoma (VSCC) and differentiated vulvar intraepithelial neoplasia (dVIN). They can also be found in the adjacent skin that shows morphology that falls short of the traditional diagnostic threshold for dVIN. Vulvectomy specimens containing human papillomavirus-independent p53abn VSCC with margins originally reported as negative for invasive and in situ disease were identified. Sections showing the closest approach by invasive or in situ neoplasia to margins were stained with p53 IHC stains. We evaluated the following (1) detection of morphologically occult p53abn in situ neoplasia, (2) rates of margin status change after p53 IHC staining, and (3) effect of p53abn IHC staining at margins on the 2-year local recurrence rates. Seventy-three human papillomavirus-independent p53abn VSCCs were included. Half (35/73, 48%) had documented an in situ lesion in the original report. The use of p53 IHC staining identified 21 additional cases (29%) with the p53abn in situ lesions that were originally unrecognized. The histology of in situ lesions in the p53abn "field" varied and became more subtle (morphologically occult) farther away from the VSCC. Fifteen (21%) cases had a morphologically occult and previously unrecognized p53abn in situ lesion present at a resection margin, which conferred an increased risk of local recurrence (5/7 [71.4%] vs 6/22 [27.3%], P = .036). The p53abn in situ lesions at a margin were confirmed to have TP53 mutations by sequencing. p53 IHC staining identified morphologically occult p53abn in situ lesions surrounding human papillomavirus-independent VSCC. p53abn IHC staining at a margin was associated with a 3-fold increased risk of local recurrence.
