Le carcinome [anciennement épithélioma] est une tumeur maligne(cancéreuse) qui se développe aux dépens des tissus de revêtement, comme la peau ou les muqueuses. [...] Le nom de carcinome épidermoïde signifie que les cellules touchées par ce type de cancer reproduisent une structure semblable à l'épiderme. On le retrouvera donc essentiellement au niveau de la peau, de la bouche, des poumons, de l'anus, du vagin et du col de l'utérus. 4, record 2, French, - carcinome%20%C3%A9pidermo%C3%AFde
