Abstract

Overview of common head and neck pathology. Papillary thyroid carcinoma features the formation of papillae and unique nuclear features like “orphan Annie eye” nuclei and psammoma bodies. Melanoma is characterized by melanin pigment and is S100+, HMB 45+, Melan A+ (melanocytic antigen), Tyrosinase+. Laryngeal papillomas show papillary fronds or finger-like projections of stratified squamous epithelium with fibrovascular cores.
