Pathology of Invasive Squamous Cell Carcinoma

Abstract

Papers in the literature dealing with the pathology of squamous carcinoma of the larynx have exhibited a curiously lopsided emphasis: they provide scanty description of the naked eye and microscopic characteristics of the primary growth, but there are several detailed descriptions of the anatomical pathways of invasion (Olofsson and van Nostrand 1973). The TNM system of staging of laryngeal carcinoma (Spiessl et al. 1982) divides laryngeal tumours into supraglottic, glottic and subglottic (Table 35.1). The terms are not used purely as anatomical descriptions, but more than this to demonstrate three embryologically distinct regions, each of which gives rise to its own neoplasm. Origin of a carcinoma from two adjacent regions is held to indicate “invasion” from one of these regions to the other.
