Abstract:
109 records and 109 histopathologic samples of squamous epithelioma patients at the Hospital K during 1992-1996 period were studied. By histopathologic classification, the malignity was divided into I, II, III, IV grade. Results showed that epithelioma was common in the elderly, principally in open area of the skin such as in head, neck and limbs (93.6%). The most of squamous epitheliomas were at the grade I, II, III. Among squamous epithelioma cases, 18% had post operative recurrent, 13.8% had gland metastasis, 55% recurred just in post operative first year, and 70% had 1 time of recurrent. >5 cm large tumors and the tumors of grade III, IV, high rate of recurrent was noted
