Abstract
- Basaloid squamous cell carcinoma is a rare variant of squamous cell carcinoma mainly occurring in the tongue base, hypopharynx, larynx and the mouth floor. Histologically, this tumor has two cell types, the basaloid cell and the squamous cell. Prognosis of this tumor was reported to be worse than that of squamous cell carcinoma due to its aggressive behavior. We experienced a case of basaloid squamous cell carcinoma in the mobile tongue, which had no mucosal involvement.
