摘要

Prediction of tumor behavior in meningiomas based on morphological features alone remains difficult. Several immunohistochemical biomarkers have been proposed to assist conventional methods. However, no single immunohistochemical marker can unequivocally discriminate between benign and aggressive meningiomas. There is only 1 study available in the literature that correlates p63 expression with overall histological grade of the meningioma. The present study is undertaken to assess the correlation between p63 expression and histological grade of meningiomas. For this purpose, the authors studied and analyzed the immunohistochemical expression of p63 in 85 cases of meningioma, including WHO grade I (63), grade II (11), and grade III (11) cases. Correlation between histological grade and nuclear immunoreactivity to p63 antibody was performed. Furthermore, expression of p63 protein was correlated with short clinical follow-up and Ki-67 proliferation index. Among 85 patients analyzed, there were 61 women (71.7 %) and 24 men (28.2%) between 7 and 75 years old. Expression of p63 protein was found in 34.9% of grade I cases, but in grade II and III, 63.6% of cases each were immunoreactive. Correlation between histological grade and p63 immunoreactivity was significant (P =.02). p63-positive grade I meningiomas did not show elevated Ki-67 index. The present study contradicts earlier reports because there are a considerable number of grade I meningiomas that express p63. Although p63 expression is significantly associated with higher histological grade of meningiomas, it may not be considered as a sole biomarker to assess aggressive behavior of the tumor.
