OBJECTIVES: TRPS1 is a new, sensitive marker for breast carcinoma (BC). Salivary glands and breasts are both exocrine glands; thus, their tumors may share similar morphology and immunophenotype. Among salivary gland-type BC, TRPS1 is reported to be positive in secretory carcinomas (SCs) but negative in acinic cell carcinomas (AciCCs) and most adenoid cystic carcinomas (AdCCs). A subset of salivary duct carcinomas (SDCs) is positive for TRPS1. Herein, we investigate TRPS1 immunohistochemical expression in salivary gland tumors (SGTs).

METHODS: A retrospective search yielded 110 SGTs (97 primary and 13 metastatic). TRPS1 immunohistochemistry was scored as negative, low positive, intermediate positive, or strongly positive.

RESULTS: TRPS1 was expressed in 78% (14/18) of pleomorphic adenoma (PA) cases but negative/low positive in all Warthin tumors (6/6 [100%]). In basal cell adenoma (BCA), TRPS1 expression was intermediate to strong (13/14 [92%]) in the stromal cells, whereas ductal or basal cells showed low expression. TRPS1 expression varied in malignant SGTs, with intermediate to strong staining in 100% (15/15) of AdCCs, 100% (5/5) of basal cell adenocarcinoma, 100% (3/3) of intraductal carcinoma, 89% (8/9) of polymorphous adenocarcinoma, and 89% (7/8) of SDCs; negative/low positive expression was observed in 100% (3/3) of SCs, 89% (8/9) of AciCCs, and 50% (3/3) of mucoepidermoid carcinomas. In addition, strong and intermediate TRPS1 expression was observed in metastatic SGT to the lungs, lymph nodes, and soft tissue.

CONCLUSIONS: Overall, TRPS1 is strongly expressed in PA as well as malignant and metastatic SGT. In addition, TRPS1 is positive in stromal cells of BCA but negative or low positive in ductal and basal cells.
