Basosquamous Carcinoma: A Rare Entity With an Atypical Presentation
Madiha Eljazouly
TL;DR
This paper presents a rare case of basosquamous carcinoma, a type of skin cancer, found on the fingertip and diagnosed through histology.
Contribution
The novelty lies in reporting a rare case with an unusual location on the finger pulp.
Findings
The case was confirmed as basosquamous carcinoma through histological examination.
No locoregional or general extension of the tumor was found.
Surgical resection was performed as the treatment.
Abstract
Basosquamous carcinoma (BSC) is a rare entity of basal cell carcinomas. It is described as being nosologically at the border between a squamous cell carcinoma and a basal cell carcinoma, thus sharing characteristics of both entities. The frequency of this pathology remains low with a few cases reported in the literature. We report the observation of a basosquamous carcinoma with a particular topography on the pulp of the left fifth finger. A histological examination confirmed the diagnosis. Locoregional and general extension studies were negative. Management consisted of surgical resection.
