Abstract

BASALOID SQUAMOUS CELL CARCINOMA OF ORAL CAVITY: A CASE REPORT

Dr. Swagata Dowerah and Dr. Sikha Agarwal*

ABSTRACT

Basaloid squamous cell carcinoma (BSCC) is an aggressive, high-grade, variant of squamous cell carcinoma (SCC).It is uncommon in the oral cavity but slightly more common in the oropharynx. We report a case of 65 yrs female presenting with an ulceroproliferative growth at the base of tongue measuring 2×2 cm with burning sensation and diffuse pain since 6 months. No nodes were palpable. Incisional biopsy was performed and tissue sent for histopathological examination. H & E stained sections showed two types of cell population i.e. basaloid cells and squamous cells. Basaloid cells were arranged in nests or islands with cells showing peripheral palisading in background of squamous cell carcinoma. A diagnosis of basaloid squamous cell carcinoma was made.
