'''Head and neck pathology''' is squamous cell carcinoma and weird stuff.   
This article is '''an introduction to head and neck pathology'''. Most of head and neck pathology is squamous cell carcinoma and its variants.   


The [[thyroid gland]] is dealt with in its own article, as is pathology of the [[salivary gland]].
