BASE OF LEFT TONSIL, BIOPSY: | |||
- INVASIVE SQUAMOUS CELL CARCINOMA, POORLY DIFFERENTIATED, SEE COMMENT. | |||
COMMENT: | |||
The tumour is p16 positive and EBV negative; this favours a HPV-associated | |||
squamous cell carcinoma. Clinical correlation is suggested. | |||
The tumour stains as follows: | |||
POSITIVE: p63, CK5/6, BCL2. | |||
NEGATIVE: LCA, EBV, synaptophysin, chromogranin, CD56. | |||
PROLIFERATION (Ki-67): 90% of tumour cells. | |||
