1. Slides of the week

2. Squamous cell carcinoma
 Origin: Squamous epithelium.
 Sites: Skin, Oral cavity, Cervix.
 Gross: Irregular growth fungating, infiltrating
or ulcerating growth.
 Microscopically: Masses and sheets of
malignant squamous epithelial cells containing
keratin nests and separated by C.T.stroma which
infiltrated with inflammatory cells.
 Grading: depends on , % of keratin nests,
mitoses and irregular nuclear pattern

3. Squamous cell carcinoma, Skin

4. Squamous cell carcinoma
Sole of the foot

5. SQUAMOUS CELL CARCINOMA
SCC

6. Squamous cell carcinoma

7. Adenocarcinoma
 Origin: glandular tissue.
 Sites: endocrine, exocrine glands, mucus
membranes, GIT, endometrium.
 Gross: in solid organsirregular infiltrative
growth, in hollow organsfungating, infiltrating
or ulcerating growth.
 Microscopically: irregular glands in size and
shape,lined by malignant cells and separated by
C.T. stroma.
 Grading: depends on tubule formation,
number of mitoses and irregular nuclear pattern.

15. Mucoid carcinoma
 Origin: from glandular epithelium.
 Sites: mostly in GIT.
 Grossly: appears as soft gelatinous mass.
 Microscopicaly:
1-Mucoid carcinoma: mucoid differentiation in
an adenocarcinoma  rupture of cells  release
of large amount of extra-cellular mucin.
2-Signet cell carcinoma: cells are distended
with intracellular mucin--. Signet ring cells with
minimal extrapcellular mucin.

17. Signet ring carcinoma,Stomach

18. Basal cell crcinoma
((Rodent ulcer
 Def: locally malignant tumor arising from the
basal cell layer of epidermis.
 Sites: skin areas exposed to sun as in face.
 Gossly: starts as a papule rodent ulcer
( raised everted edge,rough and necrotic floor,
indurated edge).
 Histologically: invasion of the dermis by
variable sized masses formed of malignant
basaloid cells that form palisade appearance at
the periphery.
