Résumé

Cutaneous sebaceous neoplasia comprises a spectrum of disease ranging from benign adenomas to malignant carcinomas. The hallmark of these lesions is sebaceous differentiation. However, poorly-differentiated sebaceous carcinoma (SC), which lacks significant overt sebaceous differentiation, can show morphologic overlap with a variety of other basaloid cutaneous neoplasms. The accurate classification of SC is essential not only for diagnosis, but also because of the potential association with Muir-Torre syndrome. Androgen receptor (AR) is a sensitive, but not entirely specific immunohistochemical marker that has been used for the diagnosis of SC. PReferentially expressed Antigen in MElanoma (PRAME) demonstrates strong cytoplasmic labeling of mature sebocytes and has been reported to be expressed in a variety of sebaceous neoplasms, including in the basaloid cell component. Therefore, we sought to compare the diagnostic use of cytoplasmic PRAME expression with that of AR for the distinction of SC from a cohort of basaloid cutaneous mimics; namely basal cell carcinoma, basaloid squamous cell carcinoma, pilomatricoma, cutaneous lymphadenoma, and extra-mammary Paget disease. We report that cytoplasmic PRAME expression is uncommon in poorly differentiated SC, and although specific, it shows very low sensitivity (22%). In contrast, AR was moderately sensitive (66%) and highly specific (92%) for the distinction of SC from basaloid mimics. These attributes, in addition to the nuclear expression of AR in the sebocytic and basaloid components of SC, suggest that AR is superior to PRAME for the diagnosis of SC.
