Basaloid squamous cell carcinoma (BSCC) of the head and neck is a distinctive variant of squamous cell carcinoma known for its basaloid appearance and aggressive behavior. Being a rare variant, clear evidence is lacking for the management and outcome of the lesion. In this observational study, we have tried to evaluate the clinical, radiological, and histopathological characteristics along with the management and treatment outcome of ten patients diagnosed with having BSCC of the head and neck who were diagnosed and treated at our hospital.
