CT findings of basaloid squamous cell carcinoma of the lung in 12 patients
Abstract. Basaloid squamous cell carcinoma (SCC) is very rare subtype of SCC of the lung and it is important to distinguish basaloid to other subtypes of SCCs, since the prognosis of basaloid subtype is considered poorer than that of other non-basaloid subtypes of SCCs. Aim of this study was to asse...

| description | Abstract. Basaloid squamous cell carcinoma (SCC) is very rare subtype of SCC of the lung and it is important to distinguish basaloid to other subtypes of SCCs, since the prognosis of basaloid subtype is considered poorer than that of other non-basaloid subtypes of SCCs. Aim of this study was to assess computed tomography (CT) findings of basaloid SCC of the lung in 12 patients.
From January 2016 to April 2021, 12 patients with surgically proven basaloid SCC of the lung were identified. CT findings were analyzed, and the imaging features were compared with histopathologic reports. Clinical and demographic features were also analyzed.
Axial location of the tumor was central in 5 patients, while 7 was in peripheral. Of the 7 patients whose tumors were located in the peripheral, margin of the tumor were smooth (n = 2), lobulated (n = 2), or spiculated (n = 3). After contrast injection, net enhancement value ranged from 15.8 to 71.8 HU (median, 36.4 HU). Endobronchial growth were seen in 5 patients and these patients accompanied obstructive pneumonia or atelectasis. Internal profuse necrosis, cavitation, or calcifications were not seen.
On CT, basaloid squamous cell presents as solitary nodule or mass with moderate enhancement. Tumor was located either peripheral or central compartment of the lung and cavitation was absent. |
