Abstract
Basal cell carcinomas (BCCs), the most common #non-melanocytic
#neoplasm, display a considerable variety of appearances under
light microscope as well as in clinical practice. BCCs can exhibit both a
variety of histological growth patterns namely; superficial, nodular,
#micronodular or infiltrating and histological differentiation towards
the cutaneous appendages, such as adenoid, keratotic, #sebaceous,
#basosquamous/metatypical, pilar, apocrine, eccrine or fibroepithelial,
adamantinoid, giant cell, morphoeiform, pigmented, clear-cell, signet
ring cell. #Adenoid basal cell carcinoma, a rare variant of basal cell
carcinoma characterized by a specific histologic appearance, has been
sparingly described and reports have been primarily limited to case
series with limited data and only 12 cases have been reported in the
English literature. An attempt is made to document the histological
features of adenoid variant of BCC in a 65-year-old male, who presented
with a slow growing #ulceroproliferative lesion on nose. The case is
being reported because of its rarity and to contribute in the spectrum
of
basal cell carcinomas.
