Squamous cell carcinoma

This tumor is similar to the same type of tumors found in other anatomical sites: keratinizing or non-keratinizing atypical squamous cells are found in true tissue fragments, as well as in cell clusters. The centre of the lesion is frequently colliquated and necrotic, which results in a fluid aspirate resembling purulent material.
