| Summary: | Basaloid Squamous Cell Carcinoma (BSCC) is an unusual and high grade variant of Squamous Cell Carcinoma (SCC) with a predilection
for the upper aerodigestive tract. The cytomorphologic diagnosis of this tumour is challenging as it shares common cytomorphologic
features with its differential diagnoses. However, a careful examination of the cytology can help in delivering a diagnosis of BSCC. In
this case report we present the imprint cytology findings of histologically proven BSCC in a 60-year-old male who presented with an
ulcerated lesion at the umbilical region. |
