Basaloid Squamous Cell Carcinoma of Oral Cavity: A Rare Case Report in the Light of Immunohistochemistry

Basaloid squamous cell carcinoma (BSCC) is an aggressive, high grade, and histologically distinct variant of squamous cell carcinoma (SCC) in the head and neck region. It shows a predisposition toward males of 60-70 years of age frequently with a history of heavy smoking and alcohol consumption. It is contemplated as an advanced-stage disease with widespread metastases, higher recurrence rate, and poor prognosis. In the present article, we report a case of BSCC in the mandibular anterior gingiva of a 60-year-old male, histopathologically which appeared as sarcoma.
