HPV-related multiphenotypic sinonasal carcinoma (HMSC) is a recently described distinct tumor entity of the sinonasal tract associated with high-risk subtypes of human papilloma virus (HPV), predominantly type 33. The biological behavior seems to be less aggressive than the often high-grade, highly proliferative morphology implies; however, recurrences are frequent. Most of the cases present as polypoid tumors within the nasal cavity. Microscopic morphology frequently encompasses adenoid cystic-like features or features reminiscent of other salivary gland tumors. Here, we describe four cases of this rare entity, all observed in women. The polypoid tumors were within the nasal cavity, leading to obstruction, facial pain and epistaxis. The morphology was predominantly basaloid, solid and adenoid cystic-like in two of four cases, one with additional glomeruloid features. Another case showed basaloid tumor cells with prominent mature squamous differentiation and extensive keratinization. A single case showed a predominantly solid and reticular growth pattern. All cases were diffusely positive for p16 (100%), expressed SOX10, LEF-1 and partially S-100, and harbored HPV high-risk types 33, 56 (2×) and 82. No recurrences or metastases were detectable after 3-50 months of follow-up. Of note, three of four patients were nurses/nursing assistant. We expand the morphological spectrum by describing a glomeruloid growth pattern and extensive mature keratinization, and add HPV type 82 to the molecular spectrum. The finding of HMSC among predominantly nurses in our cohort warrants further epidemiological studies in larger cohorts.
