  Definition: Human papilloma virus (HPV)-related squamous cell carcinoma is a distinct variant of head and neck squamous cell carcinoma (HNSCC).
  Human papilloma virus (HPV)-related oropharyngeal carcinoma represents a clinically distinct form of head and neck squamous cell carcinoma (HNSCC) that results from oral HPV infection. These tumors are associated with an (...)

• HPV-associated squamous cell carcinoma of the upper aerodigestive tract
  7 September 2010

  The majority of HPV-associated SCCs are oropharyngeal (base of tongue and palatine tonsils), although both sinonasal and laryngeal tumors were also associated with infection (67% and 33% of cases, respectively).
  Given the better prognosis of HPV-associated SCCs of the upper aerodigestive tract, it may be prudent to report the p16 and HPV status of these tumors when they are encountered.

• papillary squamous cell carcinoma of the head and neck
  13 September 2009

  Definition: Papillary squamous cell carcinoma (SCC) is an uncommon variant of SCC in the upper aerodigestive tract. It is most frequently located in the larynx, oropharynx, and sinonasal tract, and is more common in older men.
  Because of its complex exophytic papillary architecture, histologic assessment of underlying invasion can be challenging. Risk factors and pathogenesis are unclear.
  As with other HPV-associated SCCs of the upper aerodigestive tract, the majority of HPV-associated (...)
