Table 3. Summary of studies on the recent advances in the immunohistochemistry of PPGLs.

Authors Journal Year Findings
Papathomas et al. (77) Modern Pathology 2015    SDHB/SDHA immunohistochemistry reliably identifies patients with SDHx mutations and can be used to evaluate variants of unknown significance for pathogenicity
Menara et al. (78) Journal of Clinical Endocrinology and Metabolism 2015    SDHD immunostaining can be used to predict or validate SDHx gene variants particularly if there is a weak diffuse SDHB immunostaining
Udager et al. (79) Human Pathology 2018    Confirmation of the utility of SDHB immunostaining in the identification of SDHx mutations
   First report of FH-deficient immunostaining in a patient with known PGL and FH germline mutation
Farhat et al. (80) Endocrine Pathology 2019    Identification of CD163 and CD68 positive cells indicative of a monocyte-macrophage lineage in PPGLs
