Comparison of clinicopathological characteristics and prognosis between primary squamous cell carcinoma of the thyroid and squamous cell carcinoma combined with papillary thyroid carcinoma.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Primary squamous cell carcinoma of the thyroid (PSCCT) has recently been reclassified as a morphologic pattern of anaplastic thyroid carcinoma (ATC). Consequently, PSCCT and squamous cell carcinoma with papillary thyroid carcinoma (SCC-PTC) were categorized as ATC. However, in terms of clinical characteristics and overall prognosis, whether PSCCT is similar to SCC-PTC has yet to be sufficiently investigated. Therefore, this study aimed to elucidate the differences and similarities between PSCCT and SCC-PTC regarding clinicopathological characteristics and prognosis.

Methods

We retrospectively reviewed the medical records of patients with squamous cell carcinoma of the thyroid in our institution from December 2009 to December 2020. In addition, the publications in
