Squamous cell-like skin proliferations: Differential diagnosis
Main differential diagnoses and their characteristics:[1]
Invasive squamous-cell carcinoma of the skin: Atypical and pleomorphic keratinocytes, involving the dermis and the sub-cutis with a potential metastatic spread.
Squamous-cell carcinoma in situ (Bowen’s disease): Atypical keratinocytes at every layer of epidermis.
Actinic keratosis: Atypical keratinocytes that do not span the full thickness of the epidermis (or, in Bowenoid variant, are less disordered with less nuclear atypia and crowding).
Verrucous squamous cell carcinoma[notes 1]: Exophytic squamous proliferation with marked papillomatosis and low atypia and the presence of koilocyte-like changes. Found in head and neck locations, as well as in the genitalia and sole of the foot.
Inverted follicular keratosis:[notes 2]: Sharply circumscribed endophytic verrucous proliferation with prominent squamous features.
Seborrheic keratosis: Acanthosis, absence of atypia, pseudo-horn cysts, in inflamed lesions, mitoses may be present.
Notes
- ↑ - Buschke–Löwenstein tumor is an alternative name for verrucous squamous cell carcinoma in the ano-genital region.
- Carcinoma cuniculatum is a characteristic form of verrucous squamous cell carcinoma on the sole. - ↑ Inverted follicular keratosis is generally thought to be a rare variant of seborrheic keratosis, but this position is not universally accepted.
