BACKGROUND: There are numerous histopathologic features related to prognosis in cutaneous squamous cell carcinoma (CSCC). We hypothesize that there is no uniform approach toward the reporting of these features. This may be related to differing opinions on their prognostic use.
METHODS: A written survey concerning the microscopic evaluation of CSCC was sent to 120 dermatopathologists in the United States and Canada. Respondents were asked whether they comment on specific microscopic features of CSCC, and whether they believe that each specific feature can predict prognosis.
RESULTS: The response rate was 78%. Histologic type, and the presence of perineural or vascular/lymphatic invasion, is reported by most dermatopathologists (90%, 96%, and 95%, respectively). These features are also thought to predict prognosis by the majority of respondents. Only 54% report histologic grade, and 49% think grade predicts prognosis. Depth is reported anatomically by 63%, but by only 8% in actual millimeters of invasion. However, 55% think tumor depth predicts prognosis. A total of 43% report the presence of an associated actinic keratosis, although very few (16%) think it predicts prognosis. Very few comment on the presence of inflammation.
CONCLUSIONS: Histopathologic reporting of CSCC is not uniform among dermatopathologists. Also, there appears to be differing opinions on the use of certain histopathologic features for predicting prognosis.
