title: Basaloid-squamous carcinoma of the palate.
abstract: Basaloid-squamous carcinoma is a rare, nonsquamous cell tumor presenting in the head and neck that has recently been described. The clinical and histopathologic features of basaloid-squamous carcinoma derived from the 12 reported cases in the literature, including our case resembling an arteriovenous malformation, are described. The important interaction of the operating surgeon with the surgical pathologist in guiding the extent of the resection is emphasized.
