Basaloid squamous cell carcinoma (BSCC) is a rare form of cancer that arises primarily in the upper aerodigestive tract. Esophageal BSCC is extremely rare, accounting for less than 2% of primary esophageal malignancies. It is histopathologically distinct from squamous cell carcinoma and has an aggressive biological behavior with poor survival outcomes. There is no known association of Barrett's esophagus with esophageal BSCC. Here, we report what we believe is the first such case of esophageal BSCC occurring in the setting of Barrett's esophagus.
基底样鳞状细胞癌(BSCC)是一种罕见的癌症形式,主要发生在上呼吸消化道。食管BSCC极为罕见,占原发性食管恶性肿瘤的比例不到2%。它在组织病理学上与鳞状细胞癌不同,具有侵袭性生物学行为,生存结果较差。目前尚无已知的巴雷特食管与食管BSCC的关联。在此,我们报告了我们认为是首例在巴雷特食管背景下发生的食管BSCC病例。
