The hypopharynx, tonsil, supraglottic larynx, tongue (base), and head-neck regions are particularly susceptible to BSCC. Clinically, the presentation of BSCC and conventional SCC is similar, but BSCC has a poorer prognosis. BSCC is distinguished histopathologically by a dimorphic pattern, a distinctive basal cell component paired with a squamous component. However, its similar features to conventional SCC makes it difficult to diagnose. Therefore, histopathology and immunohistochemistry play a crucial role in diagnosing such tumors. Here we present the case of a 70-year-old male diagnosed with BSCC involving the tongue.<\/ns3:p>","DOI":"10.12688\/f1000research.134826.3","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2024,3,26]],"date-time":"2024-03-26T13:20:12Z","timestamp":1711459212000},"page":"1008","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.12688\/f1000research.crossmark-policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":1,"title":["Case Report: Basaloid Squamous Cell Carcinoma of the Tongue: A Case Report"],"prefix":"10.12688","volume":"12","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0001-5776-2290","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Samiha Jameel Ahmed","family":"Khan","sequence":"first","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Madhuri","family":"Gawande","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-8576-7897","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Alka","family":"Hande","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Swati","family":"Patil","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0001-9225-7919","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Archana","family":"Sonone","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-0529-3856","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Aayushi","family":"Pakhale","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"2560","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2024,3,26]]},"reference":[{"key":"ref1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","first-page":"1158-1166","DOI":"10.1016\/s0046-8177(86)80422-1","article-title":"Basaloid-squamous carcinoma of the tongue, hypopharynx, and larynx: report of 10 cases.","volume":"17","author":"S Wain","year":"1986","journal-title":"Hum.
