Background: Increased expression of p53 has been found in the majority of basal cell carcinomas (BCCs); however, UV-light-induced signature mutations are present in only about 50% of eases. Increased nuclear staining with an immunohistochemical marker of proliferation, proliferating cell nuclear antigen (PCNA), has been correlated with aggressive behavior in BCC.Objective: Our purpose was to determine whether there is any relationship between different histologic variants of BCC and, their expression of p53, PCNA, and Ki-67.Methods: We used immunohistochemical stains for p53, PCNA, and Ki-67, in superficial-multicentric, nodular-noduloulcerative, sclerosing, infiltrative, and metatypical BCC, to determine whether the staining patterns differ in these different histologic variants of BCC.Results: Superficial-multicentric BCCs were negative for p53 in four of eight tumors. Nodular BCC showed moderately intense p53 nuclear staining with some peripheral accentuation. PCNA nuclear staining was greater than Ki-67, and PCNA-positive cells were fewer than 10% in nodular BCC. Sclerosing and infiltrative BCC showed intense p53 nuclear staining with peripheral accentuation, PCNA nuclear staining was greater than Ki-67, and PCNA-positive cells were greater than 30% in the majority of these tumors. Metatypical BCCs showed diffuse intense p53 staining. PCNA nuclear staining was greater than Ki-67, and PCNA-positive cells were greater than 30% in all tumors studied, When overlying actinic keratoses showed p53 staining, the staining did not necessarily correlate with the intensity or even the presence of positive staining in the subjacent BCC.Conclusion: There are at least four distinctive patterns for staining of p53, PCNA, and Ki-67 that correlate with different histologic variants of BCC.
