    Cancer Immunology, Immunotherapy (2019) 68:951–960 https://doi.org/10.1007/s00262-019-02334-8 ORIGINAL ARTICLE Heterogeneity of PD‑L1 expression and CD8 tumor‑infltrating lymphocytes among subtypes of cutaneous adnexal carcinomas Lucie Duverger1 · Amélie Osio1 · Bernard Cribier2 · Laurent Mortier3 · Adèle De Masson4,5 · Nicole Basset‑Seguin4,5 · Céleste Lebbé4,5 · Maxime Battistella1,6 Received: 15 September 2018 / Accepted: 28 March 2019 / Published online: 5 April 2019 © Springer-Verlag GmbH Germany, part of Springer Nature 2019 Abstract Background Adnexal carcinomas are rare and heterogeneous skin tumors, for which no standard treatments exist for locally advanced or metastatic tumors. Aim of the study To evaluate the expression of PD-L1 and CD8 in adnexal carcinomas, and to study the association between PD-L1 expression, intra-tumoral T cell CD8+ infltrate, and metastatic evolution. Materials and methods Eighty-three adnexal carcinomas were included. Immunohistochemistry using anti-PD-L1 mono- clonal antibodies (E1L3N and 22C3) and CD8 was performed. PD-L1 expression in tumor and immune cells, and CD8 + tumor-infltrating lymphocyte (TIL) density were analyzed semi-quantitatively. Results Among the 60 sweat gland, 18 sebaceous and 5 trichoblastic carcinomas, 11% expressed PD-L1 in ≥ 1% tumor cells, more frequently sweat gland carcinomas (13%, 8/60) including apocrine carcinoma (40%, 2/5) and invasive extramam- mary Paget disease (57%, 4/7). Immune cells expressed signifcantly more PD-L1 than tumor cells (p < 0.01). Dense CD8+ TILs were present in 60% trichoblastic, 43% sweat gland, and 39% sebaceous carcinomas. CD8+ TILs were associated with PD-L1 expression by tumor cells (p < 0.01).

Genomic events were prioritized by com- parison against variant distributions in the TCGA pan-cancer data set and complemented with detailed transcriptome sequencing and copy-number analysis. These findings were considered against published scientific literature in order to evaluate the functional effects of potentially relevant genomic events. Analysis of the transcriptome against a background of 27 TCGA cancer types led to reclassification of the tumor as a primary HER2+ mammary- like adenocarcinoma of the vulva.

The swelling had been present for four years. Imaging studies revealed an expansive process confined to the superficial right parotid lobule. The affected area was well delineated with irregular enhancement post intravenous contrast media administration. Surgical biopsy concluded the presence of Adenoid Cystic Carcinoma. The patient was treated with adjuvant radiation therapy and follow up exams confirm there is no evidence of recurrence. Introduction Adenoid cystic carcinoma (ACC) is malignant epithelial tumors that most commonly occur between the 5th and 6th decades of life. It is a slowly growing but highly invasive cancer with a high recurrence rate. This tumor has the propensity for perineural invasion.
