Predisposing factors and histopathological variants of cutaneous squamous cell carcinoma: Experience from a North Indian teaching hospital

Conclusion: Cutaneous squamous cell carcinoma is uncommon in Indian patients and a high index of suspicion is necessary when a rapidly enlarging nodule, verrucous fungating plaque or an ulcer with everted margins develops in long standing scars and other predisposing dermatologic conditions. Histopathological examination is mandatory to confirm the diagnosis and identify the subtype and this has prognostic implications.
