#ENTPath
📸Transverse section through the cricoarytenoid joint (CAJ) of the larynx, a true synovial joint. Arrows delineate joint space
📸 Same, just higher mag
📸 Generally surfaced by fibrocartilage (but may be mixed). Synovium present
📸 Synovial lining

Squamous cell carcinoma of the edentulous alveolar ridge and palate. Cut surface (ms=maxillary sinus; nc=nasal cavity); corresponding low mag image; endophytic (arrow) with cystic cuniculatum-like growth; additional cystic change in scca.

❌ Adenosquamous Carcinoma
Requires TWO distinct malignant components:
1) SCC
2) adenocarcinoma (true glands, often mucin-producing)

Submandibular sialolith is a gross-only specimen for us. However…the interesting surface texture piqued my interest. Intact appearance, sectioned, faxitron (in our lab) and low mag histology with arrows highlighting the textured region.

Idiopathic gingival papillokeratosis with crypt formation.

Uncommon. Generally located along anterior maxillary gingiva in young people. Asymptomatic plaque(s), usually bilateral and white in color. No known risk of transformation.

✅ Squamous Cell Carcinoma (acantholytic type)
Pseudoglandular spaces due to loss of cohesion between squamous cells
Key: NO true glandular differentiation (i.e., no mucin)
Diffusely p40 positive, Ber-EP4/EpCAM (adenocarcinomas) negative

Juxtaoral organ of Chievitz that was too good not to share.

Should be (incidentally) found in sections containing muscle/fascia medial to the medial pterygoid muscle, so often seen in larger mandibular or buccal SqCC resections.

❌ Mucoepidermoid Carcinoma (neither SCC or adenocarcinoma)
Admixture of mucous cells, intermediate cells, and epidermoid (squamoid) cells.
Often forms cysts (low grade) and solid areas (high grade)
