abstract: Basaloid squamous cell carcinoma (BSCC), a biologically high-grade variant of squamous cell carcinoma, carries a grave prognosis. In this article, we describe a rare case of BSCC of the esophagus with metastasis to the mandibular gingiva in a 63-year-old man. In addition, we provide a review of the relevant literature along with a discussion of the differential diagnosis.
