0 Squamous cells are cells that are shaped like fish scales (= small flat pieces on the skin):
Basal cell carcinomas and squamous cell carcinomas are the two most common types of skin cancer.
Small proline-rich proteins are cross-bridging proteins in the cornified cell envelopes of stratified squamous epithelia.
Malignant change such as the development of squamous cell carcinoma is common.
The majority of squamous cell carcinomas derived from the upper aerodigestive tract, as well as some cervical carcinomas, did indeed show loss of expression.
It has characteristic endoscopic features but is histologically diagnosed by the findings of columnar metaplasia of the normally squamous-lined oesophagus.
In the early previtellogenesis the epithelium consists of a single layer of squamous polygonal cells with clear cytoplasm.
This study revealed that the follicular epithelium in early previtellogenesis is constituted of a single layer of squamous homogeneous cells.
Moreover, no evidence of epithelioid cells, squamous differentiation, or ductal carcinoma in situ were identified, thus the lesion was purely a high-grade spindle cell neoplasm.
Most cervical cancers (at least 75%) are of the squamous cell type.
