Cytokeratin 15, podoplanin and p63 positive in most primary skin adnexal neoplasms and negative in metastatic adenocarcinoma Cytokeratin 15 Expressed in sebaceous glands, outer root sheath of the hair follicle including bulge area, adult epidermis most specific for primary skin adnexal carcinomas (98%) P63 member of p53 gene family transcription factor for maintaining epithelial stem cell proliferation normal expression basal and lower part of epidermis, peripheral cells of eccrine ducts, apocrine glands, basal cells of sebaceous glands 91-100% of adnexal neoplasms, 14% of metastatic adenocarcinomas most sensitive of these markers Podoplanin : strongly positive in normal basal cells of sebaceous glands basal layer of outer root sheath of hair follicles including the bulge area basal layer of epidermis stains 0-4% of metastatic adenocarcinomas only 86% of primary skin neoplasms (but 65% only focally positive) Malignant stained more than benign 40% basal cell carcinomas positive for podoplanin Positivity for all 3 makers very good evidence for primary skin adnexal carcinoma
