  • All IHC stains will include a positive control tissue
  

HNF-1 should be used in a panel of immunohistochemical stains to differentiate clear cell carcinomas of the ovary and endometrium from other malignancies. At this time, HNF-1 is not considered to be sensitive or specific enough to use alone 1

  • HNF-1 typically shows diffuse positivity in clear cell carcinomas of the ovary and endometrium (reported sensitivity of 82-89% and specificity of 55.9-97%)1-3
  • HNF-1 positivity has been reported in: High grade serous carcinoma, endometrioid carcinoma of the uterus and ovary, yolk sac tumor, mesonephric adenocarcinoma, and carcinomas from the lung, thyroid, pancreas, liver, gastrointestinal tract and GU tract
  • HNF-1 is positive in normal liver, pancreas, kidney, upper and lower GI tract, secretory endometrium, and gestational endometrium
