The incidence and pattern of tumour‐associated eosinophilia is described in squamous cell carcinomas of the oral cavity, vulva, penis, scrotum and anus. Massive tissue eosinophilia appears to be related to the histological differentiation of the tumours in which it occurs, and in the cases in this series was associated with a favourable prognosis. Circulating eosinophilia occurred in patients with metastatic disease and a poor prognosis.
