[Pathology of HPV-associated oropharyngeal squamous cell carcinoma]. Magy Onkol. 2018 Sep 26;62(3):139-144 Authors: Tóth E Abstract Over the past decade, human papillomavirus-related oropharyngeal squamous cell carcinoma has become a distinct entity that differs from conventional head and neck cancer in many ways including its epidemiology, genetics, tumor behavior, and prognosis. Human papillomavirus-related oropharyngeal squamous cell carcinomas also exhibit characteristic histologic features. This review will cover the histomorphologic appearances of human papillomavirus-related oropharyngeal carcinoma, with an emphasis on their differences from conventional, human papillomavirus-unrelated cancer. Besides these we summarize the mechanism of carcinogenesis and the last guidelines for diagnosing this type of cancers. PMID: 30256879 [PubMed - in process]
