SQUAMOUS
CELL CARCINOMA (EPITHELIOMA)
These tumours can occur anywhere but
usually occur on the exposed
parts
of the body (hand face).
It also occurs in old burn scars, and sites of chronic irritation or
irradiation.
CLINICAL
FEATURES
The site of tumours formation starts as
a hard nodule and develop
into an ulcer or cauliflower like
growth.
Metastasis occurs to the regional lymph nodes.
These are hard
and soon get fixed to surrounding
structure.
Histologic examination
shows hyperchromatic
atypical squamous
cells infiltrating the dermis forming
"nests" or "pearls".
Treatment is wide-excision with healthy margin or irradiation.
The
involved lymph nodes need to be removed en block.
