Basosquamous Carcinoma Behaviour in Relation to Basaloid Carcinoma

Basosquamous carcinoma (BSC) is a rare epithelial neoplasm with features of both basal cell carcinoma (BCC) and squamous cell carcinoma (SCC) without a transition zone and tend to be aggressive, and more likely to metastasize as well as diÙ¹cuOt to treat and has a poor prognosis. Most common sites of occurrence of BSC are head and neck, mainly involving areas like the nose, ear and peri orbital areas although it can occur in other unusual site as in our case. BSC is usually a slow-growing tumor. Excision is probably the best treatment with clear and wide surgical margins due to the infiOtrative growth pattern of this tumor. In spite of that it carries highrecurrence rates.
