Abstract

BACKGROUND
There are opinions that compared to typical basal cell epithelioma(BCE), basal. squamous cell epithelioma(BSCE) emerges as an entity capable of recurrence and is especially characterized by its ability to metastasize in white patients.
OBJECTIVE
The purpose of this study was to evaluate the biological behavior of BSCE in Korean patients.
METHODS
The hospital charts and slides of 13 BSCE patients were reviewed. Telephone follow-up were conducted to determine the recurrence of the tumor.
RESULTS
There were no significant clinical or histopathological differences apart from the squamous differentiation between BCE and BSCE.
CONCLUSIONS
It is suggested that there may be an ethnic difference in the biological behavior of BSCE.
