Signs and symptoms of squamous cell carcinoma of the skin include: A firm, red nodule. A flat sore with a scaly crust. A new sore or raised area on an old scar or ulcer. A rough, scaly patch on your lip that may evolve to an open sore. A red sore or rough patch inside your mouth.
Squamous cell cancer involves the runaway growth of keratinocytes, cells in the outermost layer of skin, which produce the protein keratin. Squamous means scaly in 60%80% of cases, the lesions emerge on or near scaly patches called actinic keratoses that develop from sun-damaged skin.
Stage 1 squamous cell carcinoma: The cancer is less than 2 centimeters, about 4/5 of an inch across, has not spread to nearby lymph nodes or organs, and has one or fewer high-risk features.

Cancers that are known collectively as head and neck cancers usually begin in the squamous cells that line the mucosal surfaces of the head and neck (for example, those inside the mouth, throat, and voice box). These cancers are referred to as squamous cell carcinomas of the head and neck.
Squamous cell carcinoma of the skin is a common form of skin cancer that develops in the squamous cells that make up the middle and outer layers of the skin. Squamous cell carcinoma of the skin is usually not life-threatening, though it can be aggressive.
The upper part of the larynx (voice box), including the epiglottis; the area above the vocal cords.
They are usually solitary, slow-growing,1,3 encapsulated tumors that grow eccentrically away from the nerve trunk. The internal branch of the superior laryngeal nerve is presumed to be the origin of a supraglottic schwannoma.
The space between the vocal folds and cricoid is called the subglottic area. Tumors of this region may also cause subacute upper airway obstruction symptoms. Such gradually growing tumors are often misdiagnosed and treated as asthma (5).
Squamous cell carcinoma - a very common form of nonmelanoma skin cancer that originates in the squamous cells - becomes metastatic when it spreads (metastasizes) beyond the primary cancer site and affects other areas of the body.

A primary malignant neoplasm that overlaps two or more contiguous (next to each other) sites should be classified to the subcategory/code .8 ('overlapping lesion'), unless the combination is specifically indexed elsewhere.
All neoplasms are classified in this chapter, whether they are functionally active or not. An additional code from Chapter 4 may be used, to identify functional activity associated with any neoplasm. Morphology [Histology] Chapter 2 classifies neoplasms primarily by site (topography), with broad groupings for behavior, malignant, in situ, benign, ...
