Abstract

Basaloid squamous cell carcinoma (BSCC) is a rarely seen, high grade variant of squamous cell carcinoma that carries a poor prognosis. This malignancy has a predilection for the upper aerodigestive tract, although it has been found in other sites. To author's knowledge, BSCC originating in the nasal cavity has rarely been reported. We present a case of a 70-year-old male who was treated with surgical excision and radiotherapy with basaloid squamous cell carcinoma in the nasal cavity.
