Clinicopathologic Features and Genetic Alterations in Mixed-Type Ampullary Carcinoma

Mixed-type ampullary carcinoma is a subtype that combines intestinal-type (I-type) and pancreatobiliary-type (PB-type) lesions, but few studies have examined its clinicopathologic features and genetic alterations. The differences in genetic alterations between mixed type and other subtypes, as well as the genetic differences between I-type and PB-type lesions in the mixed type, remain unclear. In this study, we compared the clinicopathologic features and prognosis of 110 ampullary carcinomas classified by hematoxylin and eosin and immunohistochemical staining as follows: 63 PB-type, 35 I-type, and 12 mixed-type carcinomas. A comparative analysis of genetic mutations by targeted sequencing of 24 genes was also performed in 3 I-type cases, 9 PB-type cases, and I and PB-type lesions of 6 mixed-type cases. The mixed subtype had a poorer prognosis than the other subtypes, and there was also a similar tendency in the adjuvant group (n = 22). A total of 49 genetic mutations were detected in all 18 lesions for which genetic alteration was analyzed. No genetic mutations specific to the mixed type were found, and it was not possible to determine genetically whether the mixed type had originally been I or PB type. However, 5 of 6 cases had mutations common to both I and PB-type lesions, and additional mutations were found only in either I or PB-type lesions. In support of this, the mixed type more frequently exhibited genetic heterogeneity intratumorally than the other subtypes. Mixed-type tumors are histologically, immunohistochemically, and genetically heterogeneous, and this heterogeneity is associated with poor prognosis and may affect treatment resistance.
