ABSTRACT
<p><b>OBJECTIVE</b>To investigate clinicopathologic features of succinate dehydrogenase-deficient gastrointestinal stromal tumors (SDH-deficient GIST).</p><p><b>METHODS</b>Immunohistochemical EnVision technique was used to assess the expression of succinate dehydrogenase subunit B (SDHB) in 192 cases of GIST. Cases of SDH-deficient GIST were further evaluated for the presence of CKIT exons 9, 11, 13 and 17 mutations and PDGFRA exons 12 and 18 mutations with clinical followed-up data.</p><p><b>RESULTS</b>Seven of the 192 cases showed SDHB-deficiency (3.6%, 7/192). The patients ranged in age from 35 to 84 years (median=56 years; mean=60 years). Four were male and three were female. Six tumors involved stomach and one involved mesentery. Histopathologic features of SDHB-deficient GIST included four cases of mixed-cell type and three of epithelioid cell type. The tumors commonly involved muscularis propria of the stomach as multiple nodules, creating a plexiform pattern. The tumors had high cellularity with cytoplasmic vacuolization. Five cases developed lymph node metastases including one also metastasizing to liver and pancreas. Two cases showed no evidence of metastasis. None of the 7 cases of the SDHB-deficient GIST had CKIT exons 9, 11, 13 and 17 mutations and PDGFRA exons 12 and 18 mutations. Three of the seven SDHB-deficient GIST cases had followed-up data two did not recur and one died after 24 months of surgery of unknown cause.</p><p><b>CONCLUSION</b>SDHB-deficient GIST has characteristic clinicopathologic features with wide-type CKIT gene and a favorable prognosis.</p>
