Histopathological Variants of Cutaneous Squamous Cell Carcinoma: A Review

TLDR
The authors review specific histopathological features and associated clinical outcomes of the primary subdivisions of squamous cell carcinoma, a wide diversity of SCC subtypes that are associated with markedly more aggressive behaviors.
Abstract
Nonmelanoma skin cancer (NMSC) is the most common form of cancer in the Caucasian population, with squamous cell carcinoma (SCC) accounting for the majority of NMSC-related metastases and death While most SCC lesions are indolent tumors with low malignant potential, a wide diversity of SCC subtypes exist, several of which are associated with markedly more aggressive behaviors Distinguishing these high-risk variants from their counterparts is possible through microscopic analysis, since each subtype possesses unique histopathological features Early identification of high-risk lesions can allow for more rapid therapeutic intervention, reducing the likelihood of metastasis and death The authors review specific histopathological features and associated clinical outcomes of the primary subdivisions of SCC

TL;DR: There is, I think, something ethereal about i —the square root of minus one, which seems an odd beast at that time—an intruder hovering on the edge of reality.

Cutaneous Squamous Cell Carcinoma: A Review of High-Risk and Metastatic Disease

TL;DR: Treatment of metastatic cSCC is difficult and depends on the location involved and extent of metastasis, and the supporting evidence is inconsistent and a curative chemotherapeutic approach is still lacking.

The importance of early diagnosis and treatment of actinic keratosis.

TL;DR: Genetic analysis demonstrates that ultraviolet radiation-induced mutations and changes in gene expression are present in squamous cell carcinoma, AK, and clinically normal-appearing perilesional sun-exposed skin, which supports the progressive nature of keratinocyte transformation.

Oral florid papillomatosis or verrucous carcinoma

Grinspan D
TL;DR: Florid Papillomatosis (FP) is another form of verrucous carcinoma as mentioned in this paper, and it can be found in the larynx, nose, genitalia, skin, etc.

The epidemiology of skin cancer.

TL;DR: Melanoma and non‐melanoma (basal and squamous cell carcinoma) skin cancer (NMSC) are now the most common types of cancer in the white populations and the incidence of skin cancer has reached epidemic proportions.

Prognostic factors for local recurrence, metastasis, and survival rates in squamous cell carcinoma of the skin, ear, and lip : implications for treatment modality selection

TL;DR: All studies since 1940 on the prognosis of squamous cell carcinoma of the skin and lip are reviewed, finding local recurrences occur less frequently when SCC is treated by Mohs micrographic surgery.

Cutaneous Squamous-Cell Carcinoma

TL;DR: Nonmelanoma skin cancer is the most common cancer in the United States, with over 1.3 million cases expected to occur in the year 2001 and cutaneous squamous-cell carcinomas are associated with a substantial risk of metastasis.
