COVENTIONAL SCC
90% of oral cancers
Histopathological Types
Well differentiated
• Contains well differentiated squamous cells,
arranged as islands with different shapes and
sizes, with keratinous pearls inside,
determined by a process of neoplastic
maturation.
• Cells are acidophil with pyknotic nuclei and
karyolysis, while the rest of the cells has nuclei
of different shapes and sizes, bigger than
normal epithelial nuclei.
COVENTIONAL SCC
Moderately differentiated
• organized in islands of neoplastic atypical
epithelial cells, oval-shaped, oblong, round
which infiltrated the tumoral stroma.
• At the periphery, carcinoma islands are
separated by fibrous stromal elements or
inflammatory type cells.
• Nuclei has different shapes and sizes, most
of them hypochromic with large nucleoli.
COVENTIONAL SCC
Poorly differentiated
• designed as cellular cords, islands or
epithelioid-like cells of various shapes
and sizes, with a different design from
the normal epithelium.
• The various aspects of cancer cells
means the malignant tumors are
heterogeneous entities, multicellular,
containing multiple cell lines who
interact with each other and with the
extracellular matrix
Varients of SCC
• Verrucous SCC
• Basaloid SCC
• Sarcomatiod SCC
• Adenosquamous SCC
• Adenoid SCC
• Papillary SCC
• Lympho-epithelial (nasopharyngeal- type ) carcinoma.
VERRUCOUS CARCINOMA
SITE :
• mucous membrane of head and neck (oral cavity and larynx )
• cutaneous surfaces in aero digestive tract, anogenital region and
lower extremities.
FEATURES
• May be both persistent and progressive that last for years.
• VSCC comprises about 3% of all SCC
• Appear suddenly or period of slow growth followed by rapid
enlargement.
MICROSCOPICALLY
 locally invasive with papillary folds.
 highly differentiated squamous epithelial cells.
 Surface of lesion is usually covered by
prominent keratin layer arranged in
compressed invagination folds
 Continuity is maintained by filiform or broader
processes of well differentiated squamous
cells.
 Infiltrative margins are blunt pushing
ones with good circumscription.
 Aassociated inflammatory reactions in stroma
consisting of lymphocytes.
Prognosis
• The prognosis is excellent
• Only by local recurrences.
• Pure verrucous carcinoma does not have metastatic potential.
• However, approximately 20 percent of verrucous carcinomas are hybrid,
having an additional component of conventional SCC that confers
metastatic potential to it
• Hence VSCC should be usually treated as well differentiated SCC.
BASALOID SQUAMOUS CELL CARCINOMA
• Its an aggressive variant of squamous cell carcinoma.
• High Grade
• SITE : upper aero digestive tract, esophagus, anus uterine and cervix.
• Base of tongue , pyriform sinus and supraglotic larynx with
metastasis to cervical lymph nodes.
• It manifests both deep and lateral invasion.
• Clinically : BSCC even when small , are usually hard and centrally
ulcerated with submucosal infiltration.
MICROSCOPICALLY
• Its usually well to moderately differentiated and invasive
with severe squamous dysplasia present.
• The growth pattern of basaloid cells is lobular, but can also
be in cods or trabeculae.
• Prominent mitotic activity.
Prognosis
• highly aggressive.
• Nodal metastasis is detected at initial presentation in almost two-thirds of the patients, and
one-half of them develop distant metastasis with the lung being the most common site.
• This mandates a metastatic survey at initial diagnosis.
• Median survival is 18 months.
SARCOMATIOD CARCINOMA
• It’s the most common ‘spindle-cell malignancies’ of upper airwayand
digestive tract.
• Worse prognosis than conventional SCC
• SITE : mucosa of head and neck, larynx and oral cavity, Sino nasaltract,
pharynx and esophagus.
• Usually pedunculated or polypeptide masses, less often sessile or ulcero infiltrative
lesions.
• Surface is extensively ulcerated and covered by fibrinonecroticexudate of varying
thickness.
• Typically occurs as post radiation recurrence or 2nd primary
MICROSCOPICALLY
• Its usually demarcated and does not exhibit intermingling with spindle cell
component.
• Sarcomatous element mimic fibroscarcoma , synovial sarcoma,
leiomyosarcoma.
• The spindle cells are arranged in fasciculate myxomatous orstreaming growth
pattern.
• Multinucleated giant cells are
common which may be accompanied by
metaplastic or malignant
osseocartilaginous foci.
•They May be richly or sparsely
mitotic.
ADENOSQUAMOUS CARCINOMA
• It’s a ‘malignant tumor with features of both
adenocarcinoma and squamous cell carcinoma.
• Highly infiltrative and aggressive
• SITE : GIT , upper and lower respiratory tract, skin , genitourinary
tract. Oral cavity (floor of the mouth, tonsillar-palatine) ,larynx, and
paranasal sinus.
• Its undeniably an aggressive neoplasm with high mortality rate
after regional or distant metastases.
Histologically :
• Characterized by association of adenocarcinoma and squamous cell
carcinoma growing in separate or mixed patterns.
• Three basic types of cell types : basaloid , squamous, and
undifferentiated.
•Prognosis
• Its undeniably an aggressive neoplasm
with high mortality rate after regional
or distant metastases.
• Aggressive surgery with neck dissection
yields an approximate 55% 2-year
survival.
ACANTHOLYTIC CARCINOMA
• High risk cutaneous variant
• Neoplasm of skin and especially of sun exposed area of head and neck.
• Rare entity .there are less than 30 cases of ASCCs documented in the
international literature so far
• Poor prognosis
• SITES : mucosal sites- vermilion border of lips , tongue, oral mucosa ,
nasopharynx , Sino nasal tract and larynx.

Acantholytic squamous cell carcinoma resulting
in a pseudo-glandular appearance
Histologically
• It shows pseudo glandular features.
• Adenoid feature is initiated in basal layer
of squamous epithelium.
• Manifested by suprabasal clefting and
acantholysis.
• Desmoplastic reaction – accessory finding.

HPV ASSOCIATED SCC
• HPV-HNSCC has a basaloid infiltrating morphology with a prominent lymphoid
response and minimal desmoplastic reaction.
• The basaloid tumour cells lack intercellular bridging cytoplasmic keratinization and
show a high nuclear cytoplasmic ratio.
• Lymphnode metastasis and central necrosis with cystic tumour degeneration is
frequently encountered and the cysts may sometimes clinically mimic branchial cleft
cysts.
HPV ASSOCIATED SCC
• Morphological distinction of HPV SCC from classical basaloid SCC is
difficult. The basaloid SCC has an aggressive clinical course and needs to
be distinguished.
• HPV-associated cancers tend to have increased survival and better
outcomes.
• HPV positive tumors had improved 3-year overall survival (OS) and
disease-free survival (DFS) compared to patients with HPV negative
tumors
• Most frequent site parotid, followed by intraoral minor salivary glands.
• located on the palate, in the retromolar area, the floor of the mouth, the
buccal mucosa, the lips and the tongue.
• Most patients are in their early fifties.
• Grossly, the tumor is poorly circumscribed and measures from 3 to 5 cm
• The tumor is composed of glandular and epidermoid cells, the latter
characteristically of intermediate basaloid type.
Mucoepidermoid Carcinoma
• The histologic grading scheme is prognostically significant.
• Low-grade tumors - Well formed glandular structure and prominent mucin
filled cystic spaces, minimal celluar atypia, high proportion of mucous cells
• Intermediate grade- Solid area of epidermoid cells or squamous cells with
intermidiate basloid cells. Less cyst formation as compared to low grade
• High grade – Solid nets and cords of basaloid and epidermoid cells .Prominent
nuclear pleomorphism and mitotic activity is noted. Cystic and glandular
content less
Mucoepidermoid Carcinoma
• Prognosis
• 90 percent of the low-grade as compared to 42 percent of the high-grade
mucoepidermoid carcinoma patients were found to be alive at 10 years
after diagnosis
• Radical surgery is the treatment of choice for all high grade MECs, or
low/intermediate-grade tumors that are large and involve the bone
• Radiation therapy is used with surgery although this carcinoma seems to
be radioresistant.
• Radiation therapy should be added in high-grade tumors and for
patients with unclear surgical margins or for patients with positive lymph
nodes
Mucoepidermoid Carcinoma
Triantafillidou K et al. Mucoepidermoid carcinoma of minor salivary glands: a clinical study of 16 cases and review of the
literature. Oral diseases. 2006 Jul;12(4):364-70.
• a well-defined tumor characterized by its pleomorphic or
mixed appearance.
• There is intermixing of the clearly recognizable epithelial
component with mucoid, myxoid and chondroid component
• Most common in Parotid followed by Minor Salivary glands
PLEOMORPHIC ADENOMA
Histopathologically
• Epithelial and myoepithelial cells with
interspersed areas of mesenchymal
differentiation.
• Epithelial cells typically form duct-like
structures associated with non-ductal
cells presenting varying shapes and
forms.
• Myxoid, cartilaginous, hyaline, or
osseous differentiation is appreciated
in the stromal component.
• The stroma is presented as a mixture
of gland-like epithelium and
mesenchyma-like tissue in varying
proportions
PLEOMORPHIC ADENOMA
• Benign lesion with good prognosis
• Surgical excision is first line of treatment
• Studies have shown that RT can effectively eradicate
microscopic residual disease in patients with pleomorphic
adenomas.
• The likelihood of controlling gross tumor is significantly lower
so that every effort to obtain a total macroscopic resection
should be made before RT.
PLEOMORPHIC ADENOMA
• Rare, accounting for approximately 1% of all melanomas, and
25% of mucosal melanomas of the head and neck.
• They constitute only 0.5% of all oral malignancies.
• OMMs are usually painless and grow quickly and therefore
are diagnosed late in the course of the disease when the
lesions are already large.
• OMMs metastasize to regional lymph nodes early in the
course of the disease and spread to distant sites by
haematogenous dissemination, usually to lungs, bone, liver,
brain and skin.
Oral Mucosal Melanoma
• MM originates from benign intramucosal melanocytes that
reside in the mucosa o f the upper aerodigestive tract
• Due to the rarity o f the disease, the role of nodal metastasis
is confined to either present (N+) or absent (NO).
• At this time, the role o f extranodal extension (ENE) is
unknown

Maximum Tumour Dimension
• WHO Classification of Head and Neck tumours
[4th Edition 2017]
• Commonest type - Squamous cell ca conventional ( > 90 %)
• Variants of SCC (Verrucous, Basaloid, Spindle cell)
• Ca of Minor salivary gland origin
• other
HISTOLOGIC TYPE
• Conventional SCC – Well, Moderate, Poor
•Variants of SCC - intrinsic biologic potential & don’t require grading
• Salivary gland ca – Biologic behaviour type dependent
 Mucoepidermoid carcinoma – Low, Intermediate, High
 Adenoid cystic carcinoma – Grade I, II, III
CAP protocol 2017
HISTOLOGIC GRADE
Depth ofInvasion - DOI
• Tumour Thickness – Distance measured from the mucosal
surface of the tumour to deepest point of invasion of tumour
• Depth of Invasion – Distance measured from basement
membrane of the adjacent normal mucosa to deepest point
of invasion of tumour
 Better assessed on microscopy
 Reported in mm
 Strongest pathological predictor for locoregional recurrence
Tumour thickness underestimates aggressive potential. Hence, DOI is a better
predictive parameter than tumour thickness
CAP protocol 2017
DEPTH OF INVASION
To measure DOI establish horizon at level of BM of closest intact squamous mucosa.
Draw a ”plumb line” from the horizon

• Pattern of invasion is a validated outcome predictor for oral cavity
squamous carcinoma patients in multivariate analysis.
• Patterns of invasion
• Pattern of invasion (POI) assessed at tumor-host interface
• Bryne et al described 4 patterns (POI 1- 4)
• Brandwein-Gensler et al introduced POI 5 (POI 1-5)
Pattern of invasion
Pattern of invasion
Type
Type 1 pattern is cohesive in the form of ‘pushing’ bulbous rete pegs
which tend to infiltrate at the same level
Type 2 shows infiltrating cords, strands or large islands which tend to be
branching and continuous with the main tumour mass
Type 3 pattern shows small islands and cords which are separated from
the main tumour
Type 4 widely infiltrating small islands and single cells
Type 5 Worst pattern of invasion
• To simplify prognostication and enhance adaptation, the only cutpoint
recommended for assessment is whether or not WPOI-5 is present.
• WPOI-5 is defined as tumor dispersion of > 1 mm between tumor
satellites.
Worst Pattern of invasion
WPOI -5 : Tumour dispersion 1 mm or more between tumour satellites with iintervening normal tissue
# 2.69 mm
• With respect to low-stage oral cavity squamous carcinomas > 4 mm DOI,
the presence of WPOI-5 is significantly predictive of locoregional
recurrence and disease-specific survival
• Tumor dispersion is assessed at the advancing tumor edge.
• The most common WPOI-5 phenotype is tumor dispersion through soft
tissue.
• Dispersed extratumoral perineural invasion, or extratumoral
lymphovascular invasion, also can qualify for classification as WPOI-5.
Worst Pattern of invasion
In low stage oral SCC having WPOI 5, the probability of
developing locoregional recurrence is almost 42 %
Yufeng Li ,et al. Head & Neck Pathol (2013) 7:211-223
Alamangush A. Virchows Arch .2015 July;467(1):39-46
In early stage cancers, DOI > 4 mm & WPOI 5 are strongest
predictors for locoregional recurrence & mortality
In early stage (T1/T2) tongue cancers, despite early diagnosis
& treatment, 20 % patients still die of their disease
• Defined as presence of isolated tumour cells or small clusters (< 5
tumour cells) ahead of invasive tumour front
• Intensity of tumour budding :
- Low (< 5 buds/field using x20 objective lens)
- Intermediate (>= 5 to 10 buds/field)
- High (>= 10 buds/field)
• Budding represents two malignant features : cellular discohesion and
active invasion
TUMOR BUDDING
Tumour budding is an independent predictor of regional metastasis in early stage oral SCC
5 yr Disease Free Survival rate : 65.0 % for low intensity tumour budding
: 37.5 % for intermediate intensity tumour budding
: 23.1 % for high intensity tumour budding
Shota Shimizu ,et al. PLoS (2018) ;13(4):e0195451
• Important predictor of poor prognosis in head and neck cancer of virtually all
sites.
• The presence of perineural invasion in the primary cancer is associated with poor
local disease control and regional control, as well as being associated with
metastasis to regional lymph nodes.
• Further, perineural invasion is associated with decrease in disease-specific survival
and overall survival.
• The relationship between perineural invasion and prognosis is independent of
nerve diameter.
• Additionally, emerging evidence suggests that extratumoral perineural invasion
may be more prognostically relevant.
PERINEURAL INVASION
• Although perineural invasion of small unnamed nerves may not produce clinical
symptoms, the reporting of perineural invasion includes nerves of all sizes
including small peripheral nerves (ie, less than 1 mm in diameter).
• Aside from the impact on prognosis, the presence of perineural invasion also
guides therapy.
• Concurrent adjuvant chemoradiation therapy has been shown to improve
outcomes in patients with perineural invasion .
• Given the significance relative to prognosis and treatment, perineural invasion is a
required data element in the reporting of head and neck cancers.
PERINEURAL INVASION
• Moderately advanced local disease : 'T' stage - pT4a
• Bone invasion - Present or absent
- If present : Cortical / medullary
• Skin invasion - if present must be documented
Involvement of Bone / Skin
EROSIVE FORM:
• The bone recedes before a pushing tumor margin. E.g. :
Verrucous Carcinoma .
• There is loss of cortical continuity with a U-shaped or scalloped
excavation of medullary bone.
• Radiologically , there is well defined radiolucency with no spicules of bone
INFILTRATIVE FORM :
• There is neoplastic spread into the cancellous bone.
• Radiographically , ill-defined and irregular lesion is seen.
3. This shows spread through bone marrow without any marked destruction and
minimal radiographic changes. E.g.: adenoid carcinoma.
Involvement of Bone
• Total number of nodes at each level
• Number of nodes showing metastasis at each level
• Size of largest metastatic deposit
• Extranodal extension (ENE) – Present / Absent
Lymph nodes involvement
Lymph nodes involvement
ExtraNodal Extension
• The status of cervical lymph nodes is the single most important
prognostic factor in aerodigestive cancer.
• All macroscopically negative or equivocal lymph nodes should be
submitted in toto.
• ENE is defined as extension of metastatic carcinoma within lymph
node, through the capsule, and into the surrounding connective
tissue, regardless o f associated stromal reaction.
• Histopathologic designations for ENE are as follows:
• ENEn (none)
• ENEmi (microscopic ENE < 2 mm)
• ENEma (ENE>2 mm or gross ENE)
ExtraNodal Extension
• ENE is extension of metastatic ca from within a LN through fibrous
capsule into surrounding connective tissue, regardless of presence or
absence of stromal reaction
• ENE is measured as maximum distance in mm from outer aspect of
intact or reconstructed nodal capsule to the farthest point of
extranodal invasion
CAP protocol 2017
• Metastatic carcinoma that stretches capsule but does not breach it,
doesn’t account for ENE
• Soft tissue tumour deposit in lymphatic drainage area is recorded as a
positive LN with ENE
ExtraNodal Extension
Clinical relevance of prognostic parameters
• Postoperative radiation – Intermediate/high risk factors
- Advanced tumour stage – T3/T4
- Positive/close resection margin
- ENE
- DOI > 5 mm [ For tongue & FOM DOI > 4 mm]
- N2/N3 LNs
- PNI & LVI
- Level IV/V LN involvement
• Postoperative chemoradiation – High risk factors
- Positive resection margin
-PNI
- ENE

Pathology of oral cancer

  • 2. • Multiple anatomic sites in a limited area • > 90 % are Squamous – Many Subtypes • Among the remaining 10 % - Other varieties INTRODUCTION
  • 3. Epithelial tumours and lesions Squamous cell carcinoma Oral epithelial dysplasia Low grade High grade Proliferative verrucous leukoplakia Papillomas Squamous cell carcinoma Condyloma acuminatum Verruca vulgaris Multifocal epithelial hyperplasia Tumours of uncertain histogenesis Congenital granular cell epulis Ectomesenchymal chondromyxoid tumour Soft tissue and neural tumours Granular cell tumour Rhabdomyoma Lymphangioma Haemangioma Schwannoma Neurofibroma Myofibroblastic sarcoma Oral mucosal melanoma Salivary type tumours Mucoepidermoid carcinoma Pleomorphic adenoma Haematolymphoid tumours CD30-positive T-cell lymphoproliferative disorser Plasmablastic lymphoma Langerhans cell histiocytosis Extramedullary myeloid sarcoma WHO classification of oral tumor
  • 4. Histologic alterations in epithelial dysplasia • Enlarged nuclei and cells • Increased nuclear-to-cytoplasmic ratio • Hyperchromatic nuclei • Pleomorphic (abnormally shaped) nuclei and cells • Increased mitotic activity • Abnormal mitotic figures • Multinucleation of cells • Keratin or epithelial pearls • Loss of typical epithelial cell cohesiveness Sapp, Eversole, & Wysocki (2004). Contemporary oral and maxillofacial pathology (2nd ed.) St. Louis: Mosby Neville, Damm, & Bouquot (2002). Oral and maxillofacial pathology (2nd ed.) Philadelphia: Saunders
  • 5. Sapp, Eversole, & Wysocki (2004). Contemporary oral and maxillofacial pathology, 2nd ed. St. Louis: Mosby, p. 181 Histologic alterations observed in epithelial dysplasia
  • 6. Architectural changes in epithelial dysplasia •Bulbousretepegs •Basilarhyperplasia •Hypercellularity •Alteredmaturation pattern of keratinocytes Neville, Damm, & Bouquot (2002).

  • 7. COVENTIONAL SCC 90% of oral cancers Histopathological Types Well differentiated • Contains well differentiated squamous cells, arranged as islands with different shapes and sizes, with keratinous pearls inside, determined by a process of neoplastic maturation. • Cells are acidophil with pyknotic nuclei and karyolysis, while the rest of the cells has nuclei of different shapes and sizes, bigger than normal epithelial nuclei.
  • 8. COVENTIONAL SCC Moderately differentiated • organized in islands of neoplastic atypical epithelial cells, oval-shaped, oblong, round which infiltrated the tumoral stroma. • At the periphery, carcinoma islands are separated by fibrous stromal elements or inflammatory type cells. • Nuclei has different shapes and sizes, most of them hypochromic with large nucleoli.
  • 9. COVENTIONAL SCC Poorly differentiated • designed as cellular cords, islands or epithelioid-like cells of various shapes and sizes, with a different design from the normal epithelium. • The various aspects of cancer cells means the malignant tumors are heterogeneous entities, multicellular, containing multiple cell lines who interact with each other and with the extracellular matrix
  • 10. Varients of SCC • Verrucous SCC • Basaloid SCC • Sarcomatiod SCC • Adenosquamous SCC • Adenoid SCC • Papillary SCC • Lympho-epithelial (nasopharyngeal- type ) carcinoma.
  • 11. VERRUCOUS CARCINOMA SITE : • mucous membrane of head and neck (oral cavity and larynx ) • cutaneous surfaces in aero digestive tract, anogenital region and lower extremities. FEATURES • May be both persistent and progressive that last for years. • VSCC comprises about 3% of all SCC • Appear suddenly or period of slow growth followed by rapid enlargement.
  • 12. MICROSCOPICALLY  locally invasive with papillary folds.  highly differentiated squamous epithelial cells.  Surface of lesion is usually covered by prominent keratin layer arranged in compressed invagination folds  Continuity is maintained by filiform or broader processes of well differentiated squamous cells.  Infiltrative margins are blunt pushing ones with good circumscription.  Aassociated inflammatory reactions in stroma consisting of lymphocytes.
  • 13. Prognosis • The prognosis is excellent • Only by local recurrences. • Pure verrucous carcinoma does not have metastatic potential. • However, approximately 20 percent of verrucous carcinomas are hybrid, having an additional component of conventional SCC that confers metastatic potential to it • Hence VSCC should be usually treated as well differentiated SCC.
  • 14. BASALOID SQUAMOUS CELL CARCINOMA • Its an aggressive variant of squamous cell carcinoma. • High Grade • SITE : upper aero digestive tract, esophagus, anus uterine and cervix. • Base of tongue , pyriform sinus and supraglotic larynx with metastasis to cervical lymph nodes. • It manifests both deep and lateral invasion. • Clinically : BSCC even when small , are usually hard and centrally ulcerated with submucosal infiltration.
  • 15. MICROSCOPICALLY • Its usually well to moderately differentiated and invasive with severe squamous dysplasia present. • The growth pattern of basaloid cells is lobular, but can also be in cods or trabeculae. • Prominent mitotic activity. Prognosis • highly aggressive. • Nodal metastasis is detected at initial presentation in almost two-thirds of the patients, and one-half of them develop distant metastasis with the lung being the most common site. • This mandates a metastatic survey at initial diagnosis. • Median survival is 18 months.
  • 16. SARCOMATIOD CARCINOMA • It’s the most common ‘spindle-cell malignancies’ of upper airwayand digestive tract. • Worse prognosis than conventional SCC • SITE : mucosa of head and neck, larynx and oral cavity, Sino nasaltract, pharynx and esophagus. • Usually pedunculated or polypeptide masses, less often sessile or ulcero infiltrative lesions. • Surface is extensively ulcerated and covered by fibrinonecroticexudate of varying thickness. • Typically occurs as post radiation recurrence or 2nd primary
  • 17. MICROSCOPICALLY • Its usually demarcated and does not exhibit intermingling with spindle cell component. • Sarcomatous element mimic fibroscarcoma , synovial sarcoma, leiomyosarcoma. • The spindle cells are arranged in fasciculate myxomatous orstreaming growth pattern. • Multinucleated giant cells are common which may be accompanied by metaplastic or malignant osseocartilaginous foci. •They May be richly or sparsely mitotic.
  • 18. ADENOSQUAMOUS CARCINOMA • It’s a ‘malignant tumor with features of both adenocarcinoma and squamous cell carcinoma. • Highly infiltrative and aggressive • SITE : GIT , upper and lower respiratory tract, skin , genitourinary tract. Oral cavity (floor of the mouth, tonsillar-palatine) ,larynx, and paranasal sinus. • Its undeniably an aggressive neoplasm with high mortality rate after regional or distant metastases.
  • 19. Histologically : • Characterized by association of adenocarcinoma and squamous cell carcinoma growing in separate or mixed patterns. • Three basic types of cell types : basaloid , squamous, and undifferentiated. •Prognosis • Its undeniably an aggressive neoplasm with high mortality rate after regional or distant metastases. • Aggressive surgery with neck dissection yields an approximate 55% 2-year survival.
  • 20. ACANTHOLYTIC CARCINOMA • High risk cutaneous variant • Neoplasm of skin and especially of sun exposed area of head and neck. • Rare entity .there are less than 30 cases of ASCCs documented in the international literature so far • Poor prognosis • SITES : mucosal sites- vermilion border of lips , tongue, oral mucosa , nasopharynx , Sino nasal tract and larynx. Mardi, Kavita, and Narbir Singh. “Acantholytic squamous cell carcinoma of the oral cavity: A rare entity.” Journal of oral and maxillofacial pathology : JOMFP vol. 18,Suppl 1 (2014): S128-30. doi:10.4103/0973-029X.141359
  • 21. Acantholytic squamous cell carcinoma resulting in a pseudo-glandular appearance Histologically • It shows pseudo glandular features. • Adenoid feature is initiated in basal layer of squamous epithelium. • Manifested by suprabasal clefting and acantholysis. • Desmoplastic reaction – accessory finding. Mardi, Kavita, and Narbir Singh. “Acantholytic squamous cell carcinoma of the oral cavity: A rare entity.” Journal of oral and maxillofacial pathology : JOMFP vol. 18,Suppl 1 (2014): S128-30. doi:10.4103/0973-029X.141359
  • 22. HPV ASSOCIATED SCC • HPV-HNSCC has a basaloid infiltrating morphology with a prominent lymphoid response and minimal desmoplastic reaction. • The basaloid tumour cells lack intercellular bridging cytoplasmic keratinization and show a high nuclear cytoplasmic ratio. • Lymphnode metastasis and central necrosis with cystic tumour degeneration is frequently encountered and the cysts may sometimes clinically mimic branchial cleft cysts.
  • 23. HPV ASSOCIATED SCC • Morphological distinction of HPV SCC from classical basaloid SCC is difficult. The basaloid SCC has an aggressive clinical course and needs to be distinguished. • HPV-associated cancers tend to have increased survival and better outcomes. • HPV positive tumors had improved 3-year overall survival (OS) and disease-free survival (DFS) compared to patients with HPV negative tumors
  • 24. • Most frequent site parotid, followed by intraoral minor salivary glands. • located on the palate, in the retromolar area, the floor of the mouth, the buccal mucosa, the lips and the tongue. • Most patients are in their early fifties. • Grossly, the tumor is poorly circumscribed and measures from 3 to 5 cm • The tumor is composed of glandular and epidermoid cells, the latter characteristically of intermediate basaloid type. Mucoepidermoid Carcinoma
  • 25. • The histologic grading scheme is prognostically significant. • Low-grade tumors - Well formed glandular structure and prominent mucin filled cystic spaces, minimal celluar atypia, high proportion of mucous cells • Intermediate grade- Solid area of epidermoid cells or squamous cells with intermidiate basloid cells. Less cyst formation as compared to low grade • High grade – Solid nets and cords of basaloid and epidermoid cells .Prominent nuclear pleomorphism and mitotic activity is noted. Cystic and glandular content less Mucoepidermoid Carcinoma
  • 26. • Prognosis • 90 percent of the low-grade as compared to 42 percent of the high-grade mucoepidermoid carcinoma patients were found to be alive at 10 years after diagnosis • Radical surgery is the treatment of choice for all high grade MECs, or low/intermediate-grade tumors that are large and involve the bone • Radiation therapy is used with surgery although this carcinoma seems to be radioresistant. • Radiation therapy should be added in high-grade tumors and for patients with unclear surgical margins or for patients with positive lymph nodes Mucoepidermoid Carcinoma Triantafillidou K et al.

  • 28. Histopathologically • Epithelial and myoepithelial cells with interspersed areas of mesenchymal differentiation. • Epithelial cells typically form duct-like structures associated with non-ductal cells presenting varying shapes and forms. • Myxoid, cartilaginous, hyaline, or osseous differentiation is appreciated in the stromal component. • The stroma is presented as a mixture of gland-like epithelium and mesenchyma-like tissue in varying proportions PLEOMORPHIC ADENOMA
  • 29. • Benign lesion with good prognosis • Surgical excision is first line of treatment • Studies have shown that RT can effectively eradicate microscopic residual disease in patients with pleomorphic adenomas. • The likelihood of controlling gross tumor is significantly lower so that every effort to obtain a total macroscopic resection should be made before RT. PLEOMORPHIC ADENOMA
  • 30. • Rare, accounting for approximately 1% of all melanomas, and 25% of mucosal melanomas of the head and neck. • They constitute only 0.5% of all oral malignancies. • OMMs are usually painless and grow quickly and therefore are diagnosed late in the course of the disease when the lesions are already large. • OMMs metastasize to regional lymph nodes early in the course of the disease and spread to distant sites by haematogenous dissemination, usually to lungs, bone, liver, brain and skin. Oral Mucosal Melanoma
  • 31. • MM originates from benign intramucosal melanocytes that reside in the mucosa o f the upper aerodigestive tract • Due to the rarity o f the disease, the role of nodal metastasis is confined to either present (N+) or absent (NO). • At this time, the role o f extranodal extension (ENE) is unknown Oral Mucosal Melanoma

  • 57. • Important predictor of poor prognosis in head and neck cancer of virtually all sites. • The presence of perineural invasion in the primary cancer is associated with poor local disease control and regional control, as well as being associated with metastasis to regional lymph nodes. • Further, perineural invasion is associated with decrease in disease-specific survival and overall survival. • The relationship between perineural invasion and prognosis is independent of nerve diameter. • Additionally, emerging evidence suggests that extratumoral perineural invasion may be more prognostically relevant. PERINEURAL INVASION
  • 58. • Although perineural invasion of small unnamed nerves may not produce clinical symptoms, the reporting of perineural invasion includes nerves of all sizes including small peripheral nerves (ie, less than 1 mm in diameter). • Aside from the impact on prognosis, the presence of perineural invasion also guides therapy. • Concurrent adjuvant chemoradiation therapy has been shown to improve outcomes in patients with perineural invasion . • Given the significance relative to prognosis and treatment, perineural invasion is a required data element in the reporting of head and neck cancers.
