For the subtype squamous cell carcinomas, the epithelial cells are immunoreactive to CD5, CD70 and CD117. In contrast with thymomas that are negative to CD5. For squamous cell carcinomas of other locations, the CD5 and CD70 are negative, meaning that this is useful to confirm the thymic origin of the tumor. | |||

For the subtype squamous cell carcinomas, the epithelial cells are immunoreactive to CD5, CD70 and CD117. In contrast with thymomas that are negative to CD5. For squamous cell carcinomas of other locations, the CD5 and CD70 are negative, meaning that this is useful to confirm the thymic origin of the tumor.
