Basaloid Carcinoma: An Unusual Presentation.

ABSTRACT

Basaloid squamous cell carcinoma (BSCC), an uncommon tumor, is a distinct variant of squamous cell carcinoma because of its unique histological features and highly aggressive malignant behavior. We report a case of pedunculated, nonaggressive basaloid cell carcinoma of the posterior pharyngeal wall in a middle-aged female treated successfully with wide local excision and postoperative radiotherapy.
