Human papillomavirus-associated head and neck squamous cell carcinoma, abbreviated HPV-associated SCC and HPV-NHSCC, is a type of head and neck squamous cell carcinoma.
It has a unique epidemiology, when compared to conventional head and neck squamous cell carcinoma.
Human papillomavirus-associated head and neck cancer redirects here.
General
- Tumours associated with high risk HPV, typically HPV 16.[1]
- Lesions more radiosensitive and usually have a better prognosis.[1]
Gross
Classic locations:
- Tonsil and base of tongue[6] (palatine tonsil, lingual tonsil, oropharynx).
Note:
- Memory device:
- Where the tip of the penis goes when someone is deep throating.
Microscopic
Features:[7]
- Typically non-keratinizing squamous cell carcinoma.
DDx:
- HPV-negative squamous cell carcinoma - see squamous cell carcinoma of the head and neck.
- Nasopharyngeal carcinoma.

IHC
- p16 +ve[6] - should be >70% of cells, strong, nuclear and cytoplasmic staining.
- EBV -ve.
- CK5/6 +ve.
- p63 +ve.
A panel:
- p16, CK5/6, CK34betaE12, CD56, synaptophysin, LCA, Ki-67.
Molecular
- EBER -ve.
- Positive in nasopharyngeal carcinoma.

BASE OF LEFT TONSIL, BIOPSY: - INVASIVE SQUAMOUS CELL CARCINOMA, POORLY DIFFERENTIATED, SEE COMMENT. COMMENT: The tumour is p16 positive and EBV negative; this favours a HPV-associated squamous cell carcinoma. Clinical correlation is suggested. The tumour stains as follows: POSITIVE: p63, CK5/6, BCL2. NEGATIVE: LCA, EBV, synaptophysin, chromogranin, CD56. PROLIFERATION (Ki-67): 90% of tumour cells.
