Abstract
"Due to its scarcity, the basosquamous carcinoma represents a challenging pathology both as a result of its aggressiveness and potential of relapse and metastases, and also due to unclear management guides. Encountered under the name of basal cell carcinoma or metatypical carcinoma, the pathophysiology of such tumors is still unclear and it is not known yet if it either derives from a basal cell carcinoma or it could be a variant of transition to a squamous cell carcinoma. Due to low incidence, unclear treatment protocols and not enough research regarding squamous component in the aggressivity of basosquamous carcinoma, the aim of this paper is to analyze histopathological features of 5 cases of basosquamous carcinoma from Plastic Surgery Department of Emergency University Hospital, Bucharest, and correlate them with current literature "
