概要 | We present here the clinical, morphological and immunohistochemical features of a pigmented squamous cell carcinoma (SCC) in the oral mucosa of the hard palate of a 76-year-old Japanese man. He underwent a partial resection of the maxilla subsequent to radiotherapy. The tumor was typical, moderately well-differentiated SCC but had many melanocytes (melanocytosis) within it. Immunohistochemical analysis for stem cell factor (SCF) and endothelin-1, both of which are known to stimulate proliferation and differentiation of melanocytes, revealed prominent expression of both factors in the neoplastic squamous cells of the pigmented SCC, while the non-pigmented oral SCC showed little sign of either factor. These findings strongly suggest that SCF and endothelin-1 secreted by neoplasmic squamous cells are involved in the emergence of a rare variant of oral SCC. |
