| Resumo: | [EN] Introduction and objective: basaloid squamous carcinoma comprises less than 1% of squamous cell carcinomas of the head and neck. Since it was described in the early eighties, it has been published around 200 cases worldwide. In various medical articles its reported as a very aggressive form of squamous cell carcinoma, because it is usually diagnosed in advanced stages. We present a new case of carcinoma basaloid of the larynx. Case description: male smoker with an exophytic lesion in the left piriform sinus whose pathology was basaloid carcinoma, T1N0M0 of supraglottis. Our patient is disease free after three years. Our surgery was left neck dissection and pharyngectomy. Discussion: We reviewed the medical literature about prognosis, involvement of regional lymph nodes, survival, pathology, differential diagnosis and treatment. Conclusions: There are controversies regarding its prognostic. It is generally considered an aggressive tumor with a high percentage of regional metástasis at the time of diagnosis. There is no consensus for treatment. |
