Squamous cell carcinoma (SCC) of the thyroid is thought to be rare. However, SCC not infrequently occurs in conjunction with other histologic types of tumor. We reviewed 67 thyroid cancer autopsy cases obtained from two institutions from 1969 to 1981 and from 1975 to 1992, respectively. SCC was found in 19 cases (28.4%): 2 SCCs as the only malignancy and of uniform histologic type, 9 cases of tumors mixed with papillary carcinoma, and 8 cases of SCC mixed with papillary and anaplastic carcinomas. In only four of these cases was the SCC component found in the surgical specimens. These results indicate that the presence of SCC component is more likely to be found at the later stage of the disease.
甲状腺鳞状细胞癌（SCC）被认为较为罕见。然而，SCC常与其他组织学类型的肿瘤同时出现。我们分别回顾了1969年至1981年以及1975年至1992年从两家机构获取的67例甲状腺癌尸检病例。在19例（28.4%）中发现了SCC：2例SCC为唯一的恶性肿瘤且组织学类型一致，9例肿瘤与乳头状癌混合，8例SCC与乳头状癌和未分化癌混合。在这些病例中，仅4例在手术标本中发现了SCC成分。这些结果表明，SCC成分更有可能在疾病的后期被发现。
