Basaloid squamous cell carcinoma in the oral cavity: a case report and review of literature

Abstract

Abstract: Basaloid squamous cell carcinoma (BSCC) is a rare aggressive variant of squamous cell carcinoma (SCC) that occurs preferentially in the upper aerodigestive tract. BSCC is more aggressive and has a poorer prognosis, although histologically, it shows many similarities to traditional squamous cell carcinoma and squamous atypia. Here we presented a case of BSCC arising in the gingiva of right maxilla, which is quite uncommon. Clinical, surgical and pathological findings in this case, including immunohistochemistry were presented along with brief review of literature.

Key words: Basaloid squamous cell carcinoma, Squamous cell carcinoma, Gingival carcinoma
