Tissue: The tumor cells grew into nests and infiltrated, and the cell atypia was obvious, with keratinized beads and pathological mitosis. Immunohistochemistry: P63 (+), P40 (+), CK5/6 (+), P16 (-), Ki-67 hot spot index 40%. Conclusion: Cervical lymph is the aggregation area of the whole-body lymph; the whole-body lymph fluid can be drained through this.
