Haired skin:

Squamous Cell Carcinoma:
Squamous cell carcinomas (SCC) are malignant neoplasms
arising from squamous epithelium (eg. squamous mucosa of the oral cavity,
pars oesophagea of the stomach, epidermis of the skin) or from sites of
squamous metaplasia of other mucous membranes (eg. conjunctiva, bronchial
mucosa, bladder mucosa etc). Squamous cell carcinoma is a very common
skin neoplasm arising in areas that are sparsely haired and non- or poorly
pigmented. Ultraviolet radiation is implicated in induction of this tumour
in exposed sites. SCC of the eyelid of cats is a very common tumour.
