Abstract Text

Liposarcomas including atypical lipomatous tumors (ALT)/well-differentiated liposarcomas (WDLPS) and dedifferentiated liposarcomas (DDLPSs) display a histomorphological spectrum with their several diagnostic mimics. Murine double minute 2(MDM2) gene amplification characterizes ALT/WDLPS and DDLPS. Presently, there is no documented study from our subcontinent on the validation of MDM2 gene testing in these tumors.Twenty-eight cases, diagnosed as ALT/WDLPS (n = 5) and DDLPSs (n = 23), along with 10 other tumors were tested for MDM2 gene amplification, using fluorescence in situ hybridization (FISH) on tissue microarrays (TMAs). Fourteen cases, diagnosed as ALT/WDLPS and DDLPS, along with 49 other tumors were tested for MDM2 immunostaining. Twenty tumors were tested for p16INK4a immunostaining.FISH was interpretable in 25 (89.2%) cases. Among the 20 cases diagnosed as DDLPSs, 19 displayed MDM2 gene amplification. Among the 5 cases diagnosed as ALT/WDLPS, four showed MDM2 gene amplification. Finally, 19 cases were confirmed as DDLPS and 4 as ALT/WDLPS. Furthermore, 7/19 cases confirmed as DDLPS and all 4 cases as ALT/WDLPS tested for MDM2 immunostaining, displayed its diffuse immunoexpression, while a single case of DDLPS showed its focal immunostaining. None of the 49 control cases displayed diffuse MDM2 immunoexpression. ALL 16 DDLPSs and 4 cases of ALT/WDLPS displayed p16INK4a immunostaining. The sensitivity for diffuse MDM2 immunostaining was 87.5% in cases of DDLPS, 100% in ALT/WDLPS, and specificity was 100%. The sensitivity for MDM2 gene amplification was 94.7% in cases of DDLPS and 100% in cases of ALT/WDLPS. The sensitivity for p16INK4a was 100%.This constitutes the first sizable study on MDM2 testing in ALT/WDLPS and DDLPS from our subcontinent using TMAs. MDM2 gene amplification testing continues as the diagnostic gold standard for ALTs/WDLPSs and DDLPSs and is useful in cases of diagnostic dilemmas. Diffuse MDM2 (IF2 clone) and p16INK4a immunostaining, together seem useful for triaging cases for FISH.

Filtering

Case insensitive filtering will display rows if any text in any cell matches the filter term
Use simple literal full or partial string matches
Separate multiple filter terms with a space. Any order may be used (i. e. a b c and c b a are equivalent )
Filtering will only apply to rows that are already loaded on the page. Filtering has no impact on query parameters.
Use quotes to match on a longer phrase with spaces (i.e. "mtor c1483f")

Sorting

Generally, the default sort order for tables is set to be first column ascending; however, specific tables may set a different default sort order.
Click on any column header arrows to sort by that column
Hold down the Shift key and click multiple columns to sort by more than one column. Be sure to set ascending or descending order for a given column before moving on to the next column.
