What is descriptive of Squamous cell carcinoma?

  1. Most dangerous skin growth

  2. Symmetrical and skin colored

  3. Irregular, crusted, red papule in sun exposed areas

  4. Small pearly nodules

The correct answer is: Irregular, crusted, red papule in sun exposed areas

Squamous cell carcinoma is a type of skin cancer that is caused by damage from UV radiation, such as sun exposure. It typically appears as an irregular, crusted, red papule in sun-exposed areas of the skin. This option is the most descriptive because it includes important identifying characteristics of the cancer. Option A is incorrect because while Squamous cell carcinoma is a type of skin cancer, it is not necessarily the most dangerous. Option B is incorrect because the appearance of the cancer is not symmetrical and may not always be skin-colored. Option D is incorrect because it describes a characteristic of a different type of skin cancer, basal cell carcinoma.
