PG - 65-75 LID - 10.4103/IJPM.IJPM_1238_20 [doi] AB - BACKGROUND: 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. MATERIAL AND METHODS: 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 p16(INK4a) immunostaining. RESULTS: 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 p16(INK4a) 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 p16(INK4a) was 100%. CONCLUSION: 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 p16(INK4a) immunostaining, together seem useful for triaging cases for FISH.
