Abstract
Cutaneous squamous cell carcinoma (SCC) is, in its most frequent presentation, a moderately aggressive neoplastic disease. It can, however, present in a moltitude of clinico-pathological variants, some of which are characterized by a more malignant attitude. It is important to determine which tumors, among the various histophenotypes, are high risk in order to establish the appropriate treatment and follow-up. Histologic subtype has been considered as a possible variable in determining the prognosis of cutaneous SCC. We report our experience with 3 cases of peculiar variants of cutaneous SCC.
