Recently, PAX8 has been recognized as a potential immunohistochemical marker of pancreatic neuroendocrine tumors. The authors evaluated PAX8 expression in fine\u2010needle aspiration biopsies of neuroendocrine tumors to establish whether PAX8 immunohistochemistry can be used as an ancillary marker of pancreatic origin for neuroendocrine tumors.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>METHODS:<\/jats:title><jats:p>Fine\u2010needle aspiration biopsies from 72 neuroendocrine tumors were evaluated for PAX8 expression: 32 primary and 23 metastatic well\u2010differentiated neuroendocrine tumors (25 pancreatic, 13 pulmonary, 3 ileal, 2 duodenal, 1 rectal, 1 ovarian, and 10 primary site unknown) and 17 poorly differentiated neuroendocrine carcinomas (11 pulmonary, 1 pancreas, 1 breast, 1 thymus, and 3 primary site unknown).<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>RESULTS:<\/jats:title><jats:p>Among well\u2010differentiated neuroendocrine tumors, only tumors from the pancreas were PAX8 positive (14 of 25, 56%) whereas no cases of pulmonary (0 of 13), ileal (0 of 3), duodenal (0 of 2), rectal (0 of 1), or ovarian (0 of 1) well\u2010differentiated neuroendocrine tumors were positive for PAX8. One of 10 (10%) well\u2010differentiated neuroendocrine tumors of unknown primary origin was PAX8 positive. Among poorly differentiated neuroendocrine carcinomas, PAX8 expression was identified in 1 of 1 (100%) pancreatic, 1 of 1 (100%) thymic, 4 of 11 (36%) pulmonary, and 0 of 1 (0%) breast carcinomas. One of 3 (33%) poorly differentiated neuroendocrine carcinomas of unknown primary origin was PAX8 positive.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>CONCLUSIONS:<\/jats:title><jats:p>Pancreatic well\u2010differentiated neuroendocrine tumors frequently express PAX8, which can help distinguish pancreatic primary tumors from tumors of other anatomic sites. In contrast, PAX8 expression in poorly differentiated neuroendocrine carcinomas is not specific for pancreatic origin and can be seen in extrapancreatic poorly differentiated neuroendocrine carcinomas.
