Sections show an infiltrating poorly differentiated adenocarcinoma (Grade 3) composed of irregular nests, solid sheets, and scattered discohesive malignant epithelial cells with marked nuclear pleomorphism, hyperchromasia, prominent nucleoli, frequent mitoses, and focal necrosis within a desmoplastic stroma.
Immunostaining was done with appropriate positive and negative controls and revealed:
infiltrating lymphocytes.
HER2/neu: Negative score 0
MLH1: Intact, nuclear expression in >90% of tumor cells.
PMS2: Intact, nuclear expression in >90% of tumor cells.
MSH2: Intact, nuclear expression in >90% of tumor cells.
MSH6: Intact, nuclear expression in >90% of tumor cells.
Referred block for immunostaining of endoscopic biopsy from polypoidal mass located at the gastroesophageal junction.
Received one paraffin block, coded 3304-2026, for Immunostaining (MSI and Her2 new).
