Basosquamous Carcinoma: A Rare Entity With an Atypical Presentation

Basosquamous carcinoma (BSC) is a rare entity of basal cell carcinomas. It is described as being nosologically at the border between a squamous cell carcinoma and a basal cell carcinoma, thus sharing characteristics of both entities. The frequency of this pathology remains low with a few cases reported in the literature. We report the observation of a basosquamous carcinoma with a particular topography on the pulp of the left fifth finger. A histological examination confirmed the diagnosis. Locoregional and general extension studies were negative. Management consisted of surgical resection.
