Clinical importance
Squamous cell carcinoma can arise from precancerous lesions such as actinic keratosis or Bowen disease and carries meaningful metastatic potential.
Diagnostic features
Clinical exam and dermoscopy are used to assess scale, keratin, vascular patterns, ulceration, and lesion architecture.
Management
Treatment planning depends on lesion size, depth, location, and patient factors. Histopathological confirmation is required for definitive diagnosis.
Follow-up
Regular skin checks are important because early-stage detection improves treatment options.
