BACKGROUND: SMARCB1-deficient malignancies can arise in various sites. We describe a novel primary SMARCB1-deficient carcinoma of skin (SDCS) and characterize SMARCB1 mutations in non-melanoma skin cancers (NMSC). METHODS: Cases underwent immunophenotyping and targeted exome sequencing (MSK-IMPACT) assay interrogating somatic mutations in 468 cancer-related genes. The MSK-IMPACT database from 2014 to 2020 encompassing 55, 000 cases was searched for NMSC with SMARCB1 mutations. RESULTS: SDCS arose on the scalp of an 18-year-old woman showing homozygous SMARCB1 deletion with a LATS2 G963E variant. Another case arose on the temple of a 76-year-old man harboring a SMARCB1 W206* mutation associated with loss of heterozygosity (LOH), 59 concurrent mutations, and a UV mutation signature (UV-MS). Both tumors exhibited INI1 loss, positive CK5/6, p40, p63, and claudin-4 with negative CD34. Of 378 NMSC cases, including 370 carcinomas, 7 SMARCB1-mutated tumors were identified: 3 squamous cell, 3 Merkel cell, and one basal cell carcinoma. Six showed UV-MS. Five INI1-interrogated cases retained protein expression suggesting they were SMARCB1-proficient. CONCLUSIONS: SDCS can be clinically aggressive, harbor SMARCB1 homozygous deletions or truncating SMARCB1 mutations associated with LOH, and can occur with or without UV-MS. Overall, SMARCB1 mutations in NMSC are rare with most being of undetermined significance and associated with retained INI1 and UV-MS.
