SQUAMOUS PAPILLOMA are one of the most common cutaneous lesions also called fibroepithelial polyp, acrochordon , skin tag seen in the neck, trunk, face
GROSS MORPHOLOGY soft bag-like tumor has an irregular papillary surface Often attached to surrounding skin by a slender stalk.
SQUAMOUS CELL CARCINOMA (SCC) Common skin tumor arising on sun-exposed sites in older people Usually discovered when small and resectable . Less than 5% of these tumors metastasize to regional nodes Lesions deeply invasive and involve the subcutis .
COMMON SITES Face Pinna of ear Back of hands Mucocutaneous junction Lips ,Anal canal , Glans penis Preexisting inflammatory and degenerative lesions .
AETIOLOGY premalignant lesions (actinic keratosis ) exposure to ultraviolet (UV) light Xeroderma pigmentosum (inherited defects in DNA repair) chronic ulcers & draining osteomyelitis old burn scars ( Marjolin’s ulcer) ionizing radiation Industrial carcinogens Immunosuppression
GROSS MORPHOLOGY OF SQUAMOUS CELL CARCINOMA Ulcerated growth Fungated or polypoid growth
MICROSCOPY OF SQUAMOUS CELL CARCINOMA Invasion Pleomorphism Keratin pearl formation Increased mitosis Necrosis
MORPHOLOGY OF SQUAMOUS CELL CARCINOMA
BASAL CELL CARCINOMA (RODENT ULCER ) Common skin tumor arising on sun-exposed sites Common in middle aged whites Are slow growing and locally invasive Rarely metastasizes. Most common location:-- Face (90%)
AETIOLOGY Exposure to ultraviolet (UV) light Immunosuppression Xeroderma pigmentosum (inherited defects in DNA repair)
GROSS MORPHOLOGY OF BCC BCC may manifest as – Erythematous patch papule or nodule with telangiectasis which is often eroded , or ulcerated
GROSS MORPHOLOGY OF BASAL CELL CARCINOMA (CONTD) presents as: Telangiectasias (pearly papules with prominent, dilated subepidermal blood vessels
GROSS MORPHOLOGY OF BASAL CELL CARCINOMA 2 . Ulcers extensive local invasion of bone or facial sinuses. Rodent ulcers
MICROSCOPY OF BASAL CELL CARCINOMA Proliferation of basaloid cells arising from epidermis
