Squamous dysplasia of the head and neck, often squamous dysplasia, is a precursor to head and neck squamous cell carcinoma.

General

Gross

Features:[1]

Microscopic

Features:

  • Basal nuclear atypia - may be mild.
  • Lack of maturation to the surface.
  • +/-Parakeratosis.

DDx:

Grading

  • Numerous grading systems exist.[2]

WHO system

The 2005 "blue book" system - as summarized by Gale et al.:[2]

  • Mild dysplasia.
  • Moderate dysplasia.
  • Severe dysplasia.
  • Carcinoma in situ.

Ljubljana system

As per Gale et al.:[3]

  • Low-grade SIL.
  • High-grade SIL.
  • Carcinoma in situ.

Low-grade squamous intraepithelial lesion:[3]

  • Increased prickle cell layer.
  • +/-Thickening of basal and/or parabasal cell layers.
  • No significant nuclear atypia.
  • Rare mitotic figures.
  • Dyskeratotic cells - rare.
  • Must show maturation to surface.

High-grade squamous intraepithelial lesion:[3]

  • Long axis perpendicular to basement membrane.
  • Lower half or more abnormal.
  • Nuclear pleomorphism present.
    • Irregular nuclear contours.
    • Hyperchromasia.
    • Nucleoli increased in size and number.
  • Increased NC ratio.
  • Mitotic activity in predominantly in the lower 2/3 of the epithelium.
  • Dyskeratotic cell common.

Carcinoma in situ:[3]

  • "Full thickness" loss of stratification.
    • May have thin layer of compressed-appearing cells (3-5 cells thick) with their long axes parallel to the basement membrane.
  • Nuclear pleomorphism present.
    • Irregular nuclear contours.
    • Hyperchromasia.
    • Nucleoli increased in size and number.
  • Increase mitotic activity.
    • Atypical mitoses common.
  • Dyskeratotic/apoptotic cells typically very common.

Negatives:

Subtypes:

  • Basal cell type.
    • Non-eosinophilic cytoplasm.
    • No apparent intercellular bridges (prickles).
    • Long axis of cells perpendicular to the basement membrane.
    • Typically non-keratinizing.
  • Spinous cell type.
    • Intercellular bridges (prickles) present.
    • Eosinophilic cytoplasm.
    • Typically keratinizing.
