Abstract
In recent years, there has been increased interest in carcinomas of the urologic tract, that demonstrate association with the polyoma virus BK arising in immunosuppressed individuals, though the nature of this association is uncertain. To begin to understand this phenomenon, we reviewed the clinical, morphological, and immunohistochemical features of 11 carcinomas of the urologic tract, mainly urothelial (N = 9) and collecting duct carcinomas (N = 2), occurring during immunosuppression, and expressing polyoma virus T-antigen by immunohistochemistry. These were compared to a control group of carcinomas (N = 8), also arising during immunosuppression, but without T-antigen expression. A subset of both groups were also studied by hybrid capture-based DNA sequencing, probing not only for 479 cancer-related human genes, but also for polyoma and other viral sequences. Polyoma T-antigen-expressing tumors arose in 7 males and 4 females, at a median age of 66, and were aggressive, high-grade tumors with more than 1 variant morphologic pattern identified in 81% of cases, and a majority (73%) presenting at high stage category (>pT3). Diffuse polyoma T-antigen staining was seen in 91% of cases, with co-localization of aberrant p53 staining ...Continue Reading
