Basaloid squamous cell carcinoma of the oropharynx: Comparison of two cases and review of the literature
Journal Title: Otolaryngologia Polska - Year 2014, Vol 68, Issue 5
Abstract
We describe a rare case of BSCC in the retromolar trigone with only 3 other cases in the literature and also compare the differences between 2 cases of BSCC in terms of presentation and progression. The first patient had a markedly slower progre ssion with painful retromolar trigone swelling over 4 mon ths without nodal metastases. In contrast, the second patient gave a 2-week history of neck swelling with nodal involvement, indicating extremely rapid progression. Our management was tailored accordingly with the first patient undergoing intraoral excis ion of tumour and adjuvant radiotherapy while the other had bilateral neck dissection with postoperative chemoradiotherapy. Both patients achieved good outcome and are free from disease.
