ABSTRACT

One of the most common types of skin cancer is basal cell carcinoma, which is rarely seen to metastasise. This tumour has many histological subtypes, one of which is the rarely seen basosquamous carcinoma. Basosquamous carcinoma is considered an aggressive cancer with an increased risk of metastases. We report a 60 year-old patient who presented with a mass in his parotid gland as a result of fine-needle aspiration biopsy for pleomorphic adenoma, who was diagnosed with basosquamous carcinoma.

ÖZET

Bazal hücreli karsinom, çok sık görülen nadir metastaz yapan bir cilt kanseridir. Bazoskuamoz karsinom ise çok nadir görülen agresif seyreden ve sık metastaz yapan bazal hücreli karsinomun, histolojik alt tiplerinden biridir. Bu yazıda parotis bezinde kitle ile kliniğimize başvuran; ince iğne aspirasyon biyopsisi sonucu pleomorfik adenom, patoloji sonucu ise bazoskuamoz hücreli karsinom olarak rapor edilen 60 yaşındaki, hastaya klinik yaklaşımımızı ve literatürdeki yaklaşımları sunmaktayız.
