NCIt definition : A carcinoma arising from squamous epithelial cells. Morphologically, it is characterized
by the proliferation of atypical, often pleomorphic squamous cells. Squamous cell
carcinomas are graded by the degree of cellular differentiation as well, moderately,
or poorly differentiated. Well differentiated carcinomas are usually associated with
keratin production and the presence of intercellular bridges between adjacent cells.
Representative examples are lung squamous cell carcinoma, skin squamous cell carcinoma,
and cervical squamous cell carcinoma.;
Alternative definition : CDISC: A malignant neoplasm arising from squamous epithelial cells.; NCI-GLOSS: Cancer that begins in squamous cells, which are thin, flat cells that look
like fish scales. Squamous cells are found in the tissue that forms the surface of
the skin, the lining of the hollow organs of the body, and the passages of the respiratory
and digestive tracts.;
