Abstract
Pancreatic cancer (PC) is a lethal cancer with poor prognoses. Identifying and characterizing pancreatic cystic lesions (PCLs) in the early detection and follow-up plans is thought to help detect pancreatic malignancy. Besides, the molecular features of PCLs are thought to unravel potentials for targeted therapies. We present a narrative review of the existing literature on the role of PCLs in the early detection, risk stratification, and medical management of PC. High-grade intraductal papillary mucinous neoplasms (IPMN) and pancreatic intraepithelial neoplasia (PanIN) stage III are high-risk lesions for developing PC. These lesions often require thorough histomolecular characterization using endoscopic ultrasound (EUS), before a surgical decision is made. EUS is also useful in the risk assessment of PCLs with tentative plans-for instance, in branch-duct IPMNs (BD-IPMN)- where the final decision might change. Besides the operative decisions, recent improvements in the application of targeted therapies are expected to improve survival measures. Knowledge of molecular features has helped develop targeted therapies. In summary, the histomolecular characterization of PCLs is helpful in optimizing management plans in PC. Further improvements are still needed for the broad application of this knowledge in the clinical setting.

Abstract
CONTEXT.— Tumoral (grossly visible) intraductal neoplasms of the bile ducts are still being characterized. OBJECTIVE.— To investigate their morphologic, immunohistochemical, and molecular features. DESIGN.— Forty-one cases were classified as gastric-, intestinal-, pancreatobiliary-type intraductal papillary neoplasm (IPN), intraductal oncocytic papillary neoplasm (IOPN), or intraductal tubulopapillary neoplasm (ITPN) on the basis of histology. All neoplasms were subjected to targeted next-generation sequencing. RESULTS.— The mean age at diagnosis was 69 years (42-81 years); male to female ratio was 1.3. Most neoplasms (n = 23, 56%) were extrahepatic/large (mean size, 4.6 cm). The majority (n = 32, 78%) contained high-grade dysplasia, and 68% (n = 28) revealed invasion. All gastric-type IPNs (n = 9) and most ITPNs/IOPNs showed consistent colabeling for CK7/MUC6, which was less common among others (P = .004). Intestinal-type IPNs (n = 5) showed higher rates of CK20 expression than others (P < .001). Overall, the most commonly mutated genes included TP53 and APC, while copy number variants affected ELF3 and CDKN2A/B. All gastric-type IPNs contained an alteration affecting the Wnt signaling pathway; 7 of 9 (78%) showed aberrations in the MAPK pathway. Mutations in APC and KRAS were common in gastric-type IPNs as compared with others (P = .01 for both). SMAD4 was more frequently mutated in intestinal-type IPNs (P = .02). Pancreatobiliary-type IPNs (n = 14) exhibited frequent alterations in tumor suppressor genes including TP53, CDKN2A/B, and ARID2 (P = .04, P = .01 and P = .002, respectively). Of 6 IOPNs analyzed, 3 (50%) revealed ATP1B1-PRKACB fusion. ITPNs (n = 6) showed relatively few recurrent genetic aberrations. Follow-up information was available for 38 patients (median, 58.5 months). The ratio of disease-related deaths was higher for the cases with invasion (56% versus 10%). CONCLUSIONS.— Tumoral intraductal neoplasms of the bile ducts, similar to their counterparts in the pancreas, are morphologically and genetically heterogeneous.

Abstract
Biliary tract cancer is a devastating malignancy of the bile ducts and gallbladder with a dismal prognosis. The study of precancerous lesions has received considerable attention and led to a histopathological classification which, in some respects, remains an evolving field. Consequently, increasing efforts have been devoted to characterizing the molecular pathogenesis of the precursor lesions, with the aim of better understanding the mechanisms of tumor progression, and with the ultimate goal of meeting the challenges of early diagnosis and treatment. This review delves into the molecular mechanisms that initiate and promote the development of precursor lesions of intra- and extrahepatic cholangiocarcinoma and of gallbladder carcinoma. It addresses the genomic, epigenomic, and transcriptomic landscape of these precursors and provides an overview of animal and organoid models used to study them. In conclusion, this review summarizes the known molecular features of precancerous lesions in biliary tract cancer and highlights our fragmentary knowledge of the molecular pathogenesis of tumor initiation.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE A detailed understanding of the molecular alterations in different forms of cholangiocarcinogenesis is crucial for a better understanding of cholangiocarcinoma (CCA) and may pave the way to early diagnosis and better treatment options. DESIGN We analysed a clinicopathologically well-characterised patient cohort (n=54) with high-grade intraductal papillary (IPNB) or tubulopapillary (ITPN) neoplastic precursor lesions of the biliary tract and correlated the results with an independent non-IPNB/ITPN associated CCA cohort (n=294). The triplet sample set of non-neoplastic biliary epithelium, precursor and invasive CCA was analysed by next generation sequencing, DNA copy number and genome-wide methylation profiling. RESULTS Patients with invasive CCA arising from IPNB/ITPN had better prognosis than patients with CCA not associated with IPNB/ITPN. ITPN was localised mostly intrahepatic, whereas IPNB was mostly of extrahepatic origin. IPNB/ITPN were equally associated with small-duct and large-duct type intrahepatic CCA. IPNB exhibited mutational profiles of extrahepatic CCA, while ITPN had significantly fewer mutations. Most mutations were shared between precursor lesions and corresponding invasive CCA but ROBO2 mutations occurred exclusively in invasive CCA and CTNNB1 mutations were mainly present in precursor lesions. In addition, IPNB and ITPN differed in their DNA methylation profiles and analyses of latent methylation components suggested that IPNB and ITPN may have different cells-of-origin. CONCLUSION Integrative analysis revealed that IPNB and ITPN harbour distinct early genetic alterations, IPNB are enriched in mutations typical for extrahepatic CCA, whereas ITPN exhibited few genetic alterations and showed distinct epigenetic profiles. In conclusion, IPNB/ITPN may represent a distinctive, intermediate form of intrahepatic and extrahepatic cholangiocarcinogenesis.

Reappraisal of pathological features of intraductal papillary neoplasm of bile duct with respect to the type 1 and 2 subclassifications. Hum Pathol 2021; 111:21-35. [PMID: 33508254 DOI: 10.1016/j.humpath.2021.01.002] [Citation(s) in RCA: 15] [Impact Index Per Article: 3.8] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 09/28/2020] [Revised: 01/13/2021] [Accepted: 01/13/2021] [Indexed: 12/14/2022]
Abstract
The pathological spectrum of intraductal papillary neoplasm of bile duct (IPNB) remains to be clarified. A total of 186 IPNBs were pathologically examined using the type 1 and 2 subclassifications proposed by Japanese and Korean biliary pathologists incorporating a two-tiered grading system (low-grade and high-grade dysplasia), with reference to four subtypes (intestinal [i], gastric [g], pancreatobiliary [pb], and concocytic [o] subtype). IPNBs were classifiable into type 1 composed of low-grade dysplasia and 'high-grade dysplasia with regular structures' (69 IPNBs), and type 2 of 'high grade dysplasia with irregular structures and complicated lesions' (117 IPNBs). Type 1 was more common in the intrahepatic bile duct (78%), whereas type 2 was frequently located in the extrahepatic bile duct (58%). Mucin hypersecretion was more common in type 1 (61%) than in type 2 (37%). IPNBs were classifiable into the four subtypes: 86 iPNBs, 40 gIPNBs, 31 pbIPNBs, and 29 oIPNBs. The four subtypes were histologically evaluable with reference to the type 1 and 2 subclassifications. iIPNB and pbIPNBs were frequently classified as type 2, whereas types 1 and 2 were observed at similar rates in gIPNB and oIPNB. Stromal invasion was almost absent in type 1, irrespective of subtype, but was found in 66 of 117 type 2 IPNBs (P < .01), and postoperative outcome was favorable in IPNBs without invasion compared with IPNBs with invasion (P < .05). The type 1 and 2 subclassifications with reference to the four subtypes may provide useful information for understanding IPNB.

Abstract
With major advancements and frequent use of abdominal imaging techniques, hepatic cysts are increasingly encountered in clinical practice. Although the majority of cysts are benign, a small subset represents neoplastic precursors to cholangiocarcinoma. These cystic precursors include intraductal papillary neoplasms of the bile duct (IPNB) and mucinous cystic neoplasms of the liver (MCN-L), and bear striking pathologic resemblance to corresponding cystic neoplastic precursors within the pancreas. This review examines the salient clinical, gross, microscopic and molecular features of IPNBs and MCN-Ls, and, in particular, provides histopathologic comparison to their pancreatic counterparts. Considering these neoplasms may be diagnostically challenging, we also discuss other hepatic lesions within the differential diagnosis, and the potential for molecular methods to improve their preoperative evaluation and the early detection of cholangiocarcinoma.

Intraductal Papillary Neoplasm of Bile Duct: Updated Clinicopathological Characteristics and Molecular and Genetic Alterations. J Clin Med 2020; 9:jcm9123991. [PMID: 33317146 PMCID: PMC7763595 DOI: 10.3390/jcm9123991] [Citation(s) in RCA: 36] [Impact Index Per Article: 7.2] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 11/16/2020] [Revised: 12/03/2020] [Accepted: 12/07/2020] [Indexed: 02/06/2023] Open
Abstract
Intraductal papillary neoplasm of the bile duct (IPNB), a pre-invasive neoplasm of the bile duct, is being established pathologically as a precursor lesion of invasive cholangiocarcinoma (CCA), and at the time of surgical resection, approximately half of IPNBs show stromal invasion (IPNB associated with invasive carcinoma). IPNB can involve any part of the biliary tree. IPNB shows grossly visible, exophytic growth in a dilated bile duct lumen, with histologically villous/papillary neoplastic epithelia with tubular components covering fine fibrovascular stalks. Interestingly, IPNB can be classified into four subtypes (intestinal, gastric, pancreatobiliary and oncocytic), similar to intraductal papillary mucinous neoplasm of the pancreas (IPMN). IPNBs are classified into low-grade and high-grade based on lining epithelial features. The new subclassification of IPNB into types 1 (low-grade dysplasia and high-grade dysplasia with regular architecture) and 2 (high-grade dysplasia with irregular architecture) proposed by the Japan–Korea pathologist group may be useful in the clinical field. The outcome of post-operative IPNBs is more favorable in type 1 than type 2. Recent genetic studies using next-generation sequencing have demonstrated the existence of several groups of mutations of genes: (i) IPNB showing mutations in KRAS, GNAS and RNF43 belonged to type 1, particularly the intestinal subtype, similar to the mutation patterns of IPMN; (ii) IPNB showing mutations in CTNNB1 and lacking mutations in KRAS, GNAS and RNF43 belonged to the pancreatobiliary subtype but differed from IPMN. IPNB showing mutation of TP53, SMAD4 and PIK3CA might reflect complicated and other features characterizing type 2. The recent recognition of IPNBs may facilitate further clinical and basic studies of CCA with respect to the pre-invasive and early invasive stages.

Abstract
BACKGROUND AND AIMS Intraductal papillary neoplasms of bile duct (IPNBs) remain a challenging entity to manage. METHODS The pathologic spectrum of 34 gastric subtype of IPNB (gIPNB) cases was examined in consideration of the type 1 and 2 subclassification proposed by Japan-Korea consensus and compared with gastric subtype of pancreatic intraductal papillary mucinous neoplasm (gIPMN) (44 cases). RESULTS Type 1 gIPNBs (17 cases) showed regular papillary foveola with variable tubular pyloric glands. Eight of the type 1 gIPNBs showed low-grade dysplasia. Type 2 cases (n = 17) showed complicated papillary and tubular structures and high-grade dysplastic foveola and pyloric glands. Foveolas were predominant in 15 cases, while pyloric glands were predominant in 10 cases, and considerable areas of foveolas and pyloric glands in the remaining: these three were found similarly in type 1 and 2 gIPNB. gIPMNs showed central foveola with a peripheral pyloric gland. Such a pattern was recognizable in type 1 but vague in type 2. Type 1 was frequently found in the intrahepatic bile ducts and showed abundant mucin, as in gIPMNs, while type 2 also occurred in the extrahepatic bile ducts and were pathologically more malignant. CONCLUSION Type 1 lesions shared features of gIPMN, while type 2 lesions differed from gIPMN and were more pathologically malignant.

Intraductal papillary neoplasms of the bile duct consist of two distinct types specifically associated with clinicopathological features and molecular phenotypes. J Pathol 2020; 251:38-48. [PMID: 32100878 DOI: 10.1002/path.5398] [Citation(s) in RCA: 30] [Impact Index Per Article: 6.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 09/14/2019] [Revised: 01/13/2020] [Accepted: 02/11/2020] [Indexed: 12/16/2022]
Abstract
Intraductal papillary neoplasm of the bile duct (IPNB) is a grossly visible papillary biliary neoplasm with morphological variations and occasional invasion. Recently a new classification of IPNB into type 1 and type 2 was proposed in which the type 1 IPNBs consist of fine papillary neoplastic glands and the type 2 IPNBs consist of complex branching glands, seldom with foci of solid-tubular components. However, clinicopathological and molecular characteristics of these types of IPNBs are yet to be identified. We aimed to uncover clinicopathological and molecular characteristics of the types of IPNBs. Thirty-six IPNBs were studied retrospectively. Clinicopathological features as well as molecular alterations of 31 genes were evaluated by means of targeted next-generation sequencing and immunohistochemical examination of expression of mucin and cancer-associated molecules. The 36 IPNBs were classified into 22 of type 1 and 14 of type 2. The type 1 IPNBs were associated with a non-invasive phenotype, intestinal and oncocytic subtypes, development in the intrahepatic bile duct, overt mucin production, and a relatively good prognosis. The type 2 IPNBs were associated with an invasive phenotype, the pancreatobiliary subtype, development within the extrahepatic bile duct, and worse prognosis compared with the type 1 IPNBs. In the molecular analysis, recurrent mutations were found in TP53 (34.3%), KRAS (31.4%), STK11 (25.7%), CTNNB1 (17.1%), APC (14.3%), SMAD4 (14.3%), GNAS (11.4%), PBRM1 (11.4%), ELF3 (8.6%), KMT2C (8.6%), NF1 (8.6%), PIK3CA (8.6%), ARID1A (5.7%), ARID2 (5.7%), BAP1 (5.7%), BRAF (5.7%), EPHA6 (5.7%), ERBB2 (5.7%), ERBB3 (5.7%), KMT2D (5.7%), and RNF43 (5.7%). Mutations in KRAS and GNAS were enriched in the type 1 IPNBs, whereas mutations in TP53, SMAD4, and KMT2C were enriched in the type 2 IPNBs. These results indicate that IPNBs consist of two distinct types of neoplasms specifically associated with clinicopathological features and molecular phenotypes. © 2020 Pathological Society of Great Britain and Ireland.
