We evaluated the expression of S100A4 protein and mesothelin in dysplasia and carcinoma of the extrahepatic bile duct (EBD) and their potential use as adjuncts for differentiating carcinomatous and significant high-grade dysplastic epithelium from reactive or inflammatory glandular atypia of the EBD. We used immunohistochemical analysis on formalin-fixed tissue sections from 10 cases of carcinoma, 6 cases of high-grade dysphasia (HGD), 4 cases of low-grade dysplasia (LGD), and 10 cases of benign or reactive or inflammatory epithelium from the EBD. Expression of S100A4 protein was observed in 8 invasive carcinomas (80%), 5 HGD/carcinoma in situ cases (83%), and 0 LGDs. Mesothelin was expressed in 5 (50%) of 10 adenocarcinomas, 1 (17%) of 6 HGD/adenocarcinoma in situ cases, and 0 LGDs. No case of normal or reactive epithelium was positive for S100A4 protein or mesothelin. Mesothelin has moderate sensitivity and high specificity, whereas S100A4 protein is sensitive and specific for the identification of carcinoma and HGD of the EBD. S100A4 protein alone or combined with mesothelin can be used as an adjunct in differentiating carcinomatous and significant high-grade dysplastic epithelium from LGD and reactive or inflammatory glandular atypia of the EBD.
