Gail,
I cannot deciper it but compare it to mine which was moderately well differentiated. I had invasion of skeletal muscle focally, but not anything about fibrous tissues or perineural invasion. Mine was only 1 mm deep, and less than 1 cm at the widest point. Some of that other stuff is the same, and I apparently had more inflammation than you. The second pathology dept that had a go at it (using slides as I had the lesion removed 5 days after it was found) called it "superficially invasive SCC", meaning it did not penetrate the basement membrane. As you see I had a lymph node involved, so tricky stuff. I made one more switch after that, slightly diff. pathology report (still moderately well diff) and those were the folks I stayed with.
