Histopathological Diagnostic Discordance between Punch Biopsies and Final Diagnostic Excisions of Cutaneous Squamous Cell Carcinoma : Analysis of 737 Cases
The recommended treatment for cutaneous squamous cell carcinoma is surgical excision. An initial punch biopsy is often performed as an aid to diagnosis. A retrospective registry-based study was performed to assess histopathological concordance of punch biopsy of cutaneous squamous cell carcinoma and subsequent excision. Analysis of 737 punch biopsies and subsequent matched excisions was performed.
