Fifty percent of the class 1b tumours had low nuclear BAP1 expression. Among the tumours with low nuclear BAP1 expression, 68% developed metastasis, while 9% developed metastasis among high nuclear expression. Fifty-five percent developed metastasis in tumours with high cytoplasmic expression and 42% for low cytoplasmic expression. Predictive values for metastasis (positive predictive value, negative predictive value) are as follows (1) nuclear BAP1-IHC (68%, 91%), (2) cytoplasmic BAP1-IHC (55%, 58%), and (3) GEP (73%, 80%). Nuclear BAP1-IHC and GEP had the same accuracy rate of 77% and cytoplasmic BAP1-IHC had an accuracy of 57%. Conclusion Low nuclear BAP1-IHC strongly correlates with GEP class 2 and was equally accurate in the prediction of metastasis. Copyright © 2019 by S. Karger AG, Basel.Background p16 immunohistochemistry is widely used to diagnose human papillomavirus (HPV)-related squamous neoplasms of cervix, anogenital, head, and neck tissues. The incidence of these HPV-related squamous neoplasms is markedly increased in the HIV-infected population. Ocular surface squamous neoplasia (OSSN) is also more common in HIV-infected patients. However, the expression pattern of p16 in OSSN among HIV-infected patients is unclear. Here, we examined the expression of p16 in OSSN surgical excisions collected from a large HIV-infected cohort from -Mozambique. Methods OSSN surgical tissue specimens were collected from 75 Mozambican patients. Formalin-fixed, paraffin-embedded tissue blocks from these OSSNs were sectioned, stained with hematoxylin and eosin (H&E), and p16 expression by immunohistochemistry. H&E slides were reviewed to determine if OSSNs were noninvasive conjunctival intraepithelial neoplasms or invasive squamous cell carcinomas (SCC). Cases were classified as p16 positive or negative based on diffuse n
