Q

SCC

A
  • CT invaded but no vascular
  • Invasion of malignant keratinocytes beyond basement membrane into underlying CT
  • Presence/integrity of encapsulation

Q

Pathologist to Surgeon

A

WEIDDVNCS

25
Q

WEIDDVNCS

A
  • What you think the lesion is? Is it benign or malignant?
  • Encapsulation: even partial good, slow moving and easier surgical incision
  • Infiltration: Daughter cells budding off. More=invasive
  • Differentiation: Resemblance to parental cells. No resemblance = more aggressive
  • Depth of lesion: lesion thickness, invaded surrounding tissues
  • Vital structures: penetration into submucosa, bone, BV
  • Necrosis
  • Chronic Inflammatory cellular infiltrate surrounding invading front of lesion
  • Surgical margins: +ve: lesion present at margins = lesion not fully removed
  • ve: No lesion at margins = lesion removed.
