Résumé

Basaloid squamous cell carcinoma (BSCC) is a poorly differentiated variant of squamous cell carcinoma (SCC) with distinct morphologic characteristics. Yet, there are no clearly defined guidelines established for management. BSCC in the esophagus is a very rare entity, with the proportion of esophageal BSCC ranging from 0.068% to 11%. This wide range is thought to be secondary to difficulty making the diagnosis on small biopsy specimens and the lack of a universally defined proportion of BSCC components necessary to make the diagnosis. We present the case of a 57-year-old African American female, who underwent esophagogastroduodenoscopy (EGD) after an abnormal barium swallow in the setting of two months history of dysphagia and weight loss and was diagnosed with BSCC of the esophagus on histopathology.
