HelpTest Code MDM2F MDM2 (12q15) Amplification, Well-Differentiated Liposarcoma/Atypical Lipomatous Tumor, FISH, Tissue
Reporting Name
MDM2 (12q15) Amp, FISH, TsPerforming Laboratory
Mayo Clinic Laboratories in Rochester
Useful For
Identifying MDM2 amplification
Supporting the diagnosis of many neoplasms, including, but not limited to, well-differentiated liposarcoma, atypical lipomatous tumor, dedifferentiated liposarcoma, parosteal osteosarcoma and central low-grade osteosarcoma
Method Name
Fluorescence In Situ Hybridization (FISH)
Ordering Guidance
This test does not include a pathology consultation. If a pathology consultation is requested, order PATHC / Pathology Consultation, and the appropriate fluorescence in situ hybridization test will be added and performed at an additional charge.
Multiple oncology (cancer) gene panels are also available. For more information see Hematology, Oncology, and Hereditary Test Selection Guide.
Additional Testing Requirements
To resolve atypical fluorescence in situ hybridization results, confirmation testing by microarray is available; order CMAPT / Chromosomal Microarray, Tumor, Formalin-Fixed Paraffin-Embedded.
Shipping Instructions
Advise Express Mail or equivalent if not on courier service.
Necessary Information
1. A pathology report is required for testing to be performed. If not provided, appropriate testing and interpretation may be compromised or delayed. Acceptable pathology reports include working drafts, preliminary pathology, or surgical pathology reports.
2. The following information must be included in the report provided:
-Patient name
-Block number - must be on all blocks, slides, and paperwork
-Date of collection
-Tissue source
3. A reason for testing must be provided. If this information is not provided, an appropriate indication for testing may be entered by Mayo Clinic Laboratories.
Specimen Required
Submit only 1 of the following specimens:
Preferred:
Specimen Type: Tissue block
Collection Instructions: Submit a formalin-fixed, paraffin-embedded tumor tissue block. Blocks prepared with alternative fixation methods will be attempted but are less favorable for successful results by fluorescence in situ hybridization testing; provide fixation method used.
Additional Information:
1. Paraffin-embedded specimens can be from any anatomic location (skin, soft tissue, lymph node, etc).
2. Bone specimens that have been decalcified will be attempted for testing, but the success rate is approximately 50%.
Acceptable:
Specimen Type: Tissue slides
Slides: 1 Hematoxylin and eosin stained and 4 unstained?
Collection Instructions: Submit 1 slide stained with hematoxylin and eosin and 4 consecutive unstained, positively charged, unbaked slides with 5 micron-thick sections of the tumor tissue.
Specimen Type
TissueSpecimen Minimum Volume
Slides: 1 Hematoxylin and eosin-stained and 2 unstained

An interpretive report will be provided.
Interpretation
A neoplastic clone is detected when the percent of cells with an abnormality exceeds the normal reference range for the MDM2 fluorescence in situ hybridization probe set.
Differential Diagnosis of Well-Differentiated Liposarcoma/Atypical Lipomatous Tumor:
A positive result is consistent with amplification of the MDM2 gene locus (12q15) and, in the proper clinical and pathologic context, may support the diagnosis of well-differentiated liposarcoma/atypical lipomatous tumor (WDL/ALT). MDM2 amplification may be seen in other neoplasms and is not diagnostic in isolation. Clinical and pathologic correlation is required.
A negative result is consistent with absence of amplification of the MDM2 gene locus (12q15) but does not exclude the diagnosis of WDL/ALT. Clinical and pathologic correlation is required.
Differential Diagnosis of Osteosarcoma:
A positive result is consistent with amplification of the MDM2 gene locus (12q15) and, in the proper clinical and pathologic context, may support the diagnosis of parosteal osteosarcoma or low-grade central osteosarcoma. MDM2 amplification may be seen in other neoplasms and is not diagnostic in isolation. Clinical and pathologic correlation is required.
A negative result is consistent with absence of amplification of the MDM2 gene locus (12q15) but does not exclude the diagnosis of low-grade central osteosarcoma or parosteal osteosarcoma. Clinical and pathologic correlation is required.

Testing Algorithm
This test includes a charge for the probe application, analysis, and professional interpretation of results for one probe set (2 individual fluorescence in situ hybridization probes). No analysis charges will be incurred if an insufficient number of representative cells are available for analysis.
Appropriate ancillary probes may be performed at consultant discretion to render comprehensive assessment. Any additional probes will have the results included within the final report and will be performed at an additional charge.
