The basaloid variant of squamous cell carcinoma in an uncommon location
Microscopic aspects of basaloid squamous cell carcinoma (BSCC) are well defined, and its prevalence is rare in the mouth. Current research points to similarity of its course in relation to conventional squamous cell carcinoma; however, there is lack of information about its clinical behavior and prognosis. An 83-year-old male patient complained of a “lump inside the mouth,” noticed 4 months ago. Medical history revealed heart failure, systemic arterial hypertension, Alzheimer’s disease, history of stroke, and smoking (2 packs a day) for 30 years, discontinued 20 years ago.

Anamnesis indicated systemic arterial hypertension and previous stroke; she denied smoking or performing activities causing sun exposure.
