View in English: Epidermoid carcinoma
Carcinoma epidermoide
Cáncer que empieza en las células escamosas, que son células delgadas y planas que se parecen a las escamas de los peces. Las células escamosas se encuentran en el tejido que forma la superficie de la piel, el recubrimiento de los órganos huecos del cuerpo, como los conductos de los aparatos respiratorio y digestivo. También se llama carcinoma de células escamosas.
