FIGURE 1 Histopathological and immunohistochemical findings. Squamous cell carcinoma (hematoxylin and eosin) biopsy (A) and surgical sample (B). All cases strongly express n-p63 (C) and cytokeratin 5/6 (D) and are negative for thyroid transcription factor 1 (E) and Napsin (F).

FIGURE 2 Interphase FISH analysis. A break-apart dual-color ALK probes, where the green and red signals are split apart demonstrate the break of the ALK gene (A), and a dual-color assay FISH EML4 and ALK probes, where the dual-fusion of adjacent red and green signals demonstrate the EML4-ALK rearrangement (B). FISH, fluorescence in situ hybridization; ALK, anaplastic lymphoma kinase; EML4, echinoderm microtubule associated protein like 4.
