Squamous cell carcinoma (SCC) is a malignant epithelial tumor showing evidence of squamous differentiation. It is the most common malignancy of the larynx, with several variants (verrucous, exophytic or papillary, spindle-cell, basaloid, acantholytic, adenosquamous) recognized, with well-established precursor lesions. Dysplasia is now separated into only low-grade and high-grade categories. Each SCC variant has unique cytomorphologic features and histologic differential diagnoses that are important to consider, as management and outcomes are different.
鳞状细胞癌(SCC)是一种显示鳞状分化证据的恶性上皮性肿瘤。它是喉最常见的恶性肿瘤,有几种变异型(疣状、外生性或乳头状、梭形细胞、基底样、棘层松解性、腺鳞状)已得到确认,且有公认的前驱病变。发育异常现在仅分为低级别和高级别两类。每种SCC变异型都有独特的细胞形态学特征和组织学鉴别诊断,这些都很重要,因为治疗方法和预后有所不同。
