The epidermoid keratinised carcinoma is a
malignant tumour. The tumoural cells are
organized in lobules or belts.The tumoural
cells develop malignant characteristics
such as nuclear abnormalities and multiple
mitosis. At the lobules' limit there are
young, small and cubic cells very much
like the ones from the basal epithelium
layer. Towards the middle of some lobules
tumoural cells elongate and become
gradually keratinised, realizing through
their superposition very much like the
layers of an onion spheroidal structures
called keratin pearls=epithelial pearls.
Sometimes epidermoid keratinised carcinoma
have very big and numerous such pearls at
the skin level. This type of cancer is
less malignant.
The epidermoid keratinised carcinoma is
resistant to radiations and metastasize
relatively early.

I'm sorry if you didn't understand...
:(... Please feel free to ask what you
didn't understand.
As for your moles, they can become very
dangerous, so please don't be embarrassed
to see a doctor whenever you feel
something is wrong with them...Doctors are
there to explain what is going on with
your body and make sure you stay
healthy..Ok?
As for that site, I would appreciate it if
you gave me a link to it. I'm curious to
see the pictures.
And please keep an eye on your moles. If
they change in any way (color, size,
shape) go back to your doctor for a
check.
Take care.
Good luck!

Thank you for the link....It is very
interesting....I remember seeing this site
some time ago when I too wanted some extra
information on melanoma. I looked again
carefully and I can understand now why you
are confused. They are talking there
about " seborrheic keratosis" which they
call a benign tumor and identify it
through those keratin pearls visible on
the surface of the skin. I am afraid we
come from different schools. I have
learned that the keratin pearls are
specific to "epidermoid keratinised
carcinoma" and that they are seldom
visible on the skin, and when they are it
is a sign of a lower malignancy.
I am afraid I am not an oncologist, nor a
researcher in the area. I only know what
my books have told me. But it's not that
important. The important thing is to keep
an eye on your moles and see a specialist
when there's any change at all....The
doctor will know what to do next... :)
i apologize for having confused you. Wish
you lots of health.
