Basosquamous carcinoma

Basosquamous carcinoma is a rare malignancy, with features of both basal cell carcinoma and squamous cell carcinoma. Some authors believe that basosquamous carcinoma merely is a variant of basal cell carcinoma, whereas others have suggested that basosquamous carcinoma may behave more aggressively. To the authors' knowledge the largest published series to date, comprised of 35 cases, was reported > 20 years ago. The authors reviewed their recent experience with basosquamous carcinoma to identify prognostic factors influencing recurrence.
