case_images: Histopathology of oral lesion: section showing hyperplasia of epithelium with central ulceration, necrosis, and inflammatory cells. Area of malignant change seen in the epithelium with few malignant cells breaking into the basement membrane, suggestive of infiltrating squamous cell carcinoma (H and E, x40)

case_images: In one area, there was a malignant change seen in the epithelium with few malignant cells breaking into the basement membrane, suggestive of infiltrating squamous cell carcinoma [Figure 3].
case_images: Histopathology of zosteriform lesion: section showing large sheets of malignant squamous cells with hyperchromatic nuclei and mitoses. Central area shows necrosis with overlying squamous epithelium showing hyperplasia in few areas. No malignant change was noted in epidermis. Subcutaneous lymphatics were distended with tumor cells, which was suggestive of squamous cell carcinoma secondaries (H and E, x40)
