BACKGROUND: Basaloid squamous cell carcinoma (BSCC), an aggressive tumor of the
aerodigestive tract, was described over 20 years ago, and its defining histologic parameters
remain largely unchanged. While rare reports have noted cutaneous metastatic deposition,
primary tumors have not been previously described. OBJECTIVE: Although most cutaneous
malignancies with basaloid features comprise variants of basal cell carcinomas, a subset
exhibit histologic attributes suggestive of more aggressive tumors. We evaluated 3 such …
