Basosquamous Carcinoma Behaviour in Relation to Basaloid Carcinoma

Abstract

Comenam Mohammed Junainah

Basosquamous carcinoma is a rare type. It considered as an aggressive type of basal cell carcinoma (BCC) this type of BCC has an increased risk of recurrence and metastasesorm. We present the case of a patient of 52 years with an ulcerative lesion of 10 cm in the right buttock treated with radical surgical and adjuvant radiation. This case needs critically to differentiate BSCC from the close terminology of Basaloid squamous cell carcinoma, which is an aggressive variant of squamous cell carcinoma occurring in the upper aero digestive tract. Paucity of literature about BCC compelled us to illustrate this case for study.
