TLE1 immunohistochemistry is widely used as a biomarker for synovial sarcoma. Recently, we identified TLE1 expression in a subset of melanomas and noted staining in sebaceous glands and follicular epithelium. TLE1 immunohistochemistry has not been well studied in cutaneous tumors. The aim was to investigate TLE1 expression in sebaceous neoplasms, basal cell carcinoma (BCC), and squamous cell carcinoma (SCC) to determine whether the staining patterns may aid in the diagnosis or classification of these neoplasms. TLE1 immunohistochemistry was performed on sebaceous adenoma (n = 26), sebaceoma (n = 10), sebaceous carcinoma (n = 19), BCC (n = 20), and SCC (n = 19). Positivity was defined as dark-brown nuclear staining and graded as 3+ (strong staining of >50% of cells at 4x), 2+ (moderate staining of 10-50% of cells at 4x or >50% of cells staining at 10x), and 1+ (weak staining of
