Abstract
Twenty-seven percent of neuroendocrine tumors (NETs) are associated with distant metastases, and in some patients, the primary site is unknown. Orthopedia homeobox protein (OTP) has been described as a useful marker for lung carcinoids (LCs) and for separating low-grade typical carcinoids (TCs) from intermediate-grade atypical carcinoids (ACs) in resection specimens. This study evaluated OTP, thyroid transcription factor 1 (TTF-1), and Ki-67 expression in fine-needle aspiration (FNA) samples of various NETs. A search for NETs diagnosed via FNA with subsequent resection was performed. Cell block sections were stained for OTP, TTF-1, and mindbomb E3 ubiquitin protein ligase 1 (Mib-1). Nuclear expression for OTP and TTF-1 was considered positive. Nuclear Ki-67 staining was reported as a percentage. Results were correlated with the grade and primary site for resection specimens. Sixty-three FNA samples of NETs were identified: 14 liver samples, 14 pancreatic samples, 13 lymph node samples, 12 lung samples, 3 retroperitoneum samples, 2 small intestine samples, and 5 other samples. OTP was positive in 12 of 63 NETs (19%) from the following sites: lung (n = 8), liver (lung primary; n = 2), skin (n = 1), and lymph node (lung primary; n...Continue Reading
