Squamous cell-like proliferations: Differential diagnosis
Condition[1] | Characteristics[1] | Image |
---|---|---|
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 confined on basal layer. | |
Keratoacanthoma | Symmetrical and circumscribed proliferation of keratinocytes, with central horn plug, with epidermis that extends over the tumor. Highly differentiated SCC. | |
Adnexal carcinomas | Squamous differentiation, but does not show connection with the epidermis and highlights adnexal features. | |
Adenosquamous carcinoma | Mixed glandular and squamous differentiation. | |
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 | 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. | |
Bowenoid papulosis | Atypical keratinocytes and mitoses. Histology similar to Bowen’s disease. | |
Metastasis | Personal medical history of the patient, nodular proliferation without connection to epidermis, immunohistochemical evaluation. |
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.
