SATB2 in neuroendocrine neoplasms: strong expression is restricted to well‐differentiated tumours of lower gastrointestinal tract origin and is most frequent in Merkel cell carcinoma among poorly differentiated carcinomas

Aims Special AT‐rich sequence‐binding protein 2 (SATB2) is a transcriptional regulator with critical roles in brain, craniofacial and skeletal development. It has emerged as a key marker of lower gastrointestinal (GI) tract columnar epithelial and osteoblastic differentiation. Transcription factor immunohistochemistry is useful in assigning site of origin in well‐differentiated neuroendocrine tumours (NETs), and has had a limited role in poorly...
