Summary: Basosquamous carcinoma of the skin is a lesion with specific histological features and recognized metastatic potential. Three cases of metastatic basosquamous carcinoma are reported, two of which were rapidly fatal. They illustrate that diagnostic features may be absent in a small biopsy and that metastasis is usually associated with a poor prognosis.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
