Squamous Cell: Carcinoma

Squamous cell carcinoma is the second most common skin tumor in older people, especially in men, arising on sun-exposed areas. Under the microscope, squamous cell carcinoma displays malignant cells and keratin pearls, which are clusters of keratin produced by the malignant cells. Doctors examine biopsy samples for the presence of malignant cells and keratin pearls to diagnose squamous cell carcinoma.
