Basaloid squamous cell carcinoma of the conjunctiva.
Basaloid squamous cell carcinoma is a distinct variant of squamous cell carcinoma, and it is more aggressive and has a poorer prognosis than conventional squamous cell carcinoma. Basaloid squamous cell carcinoma has been reported to arise from many organs, mainly in the upper aerodigestive tract. Herein, the authors present a 77-year-old woman with a basaloid squamous cell carcinoma over her limbal conjunctiva in the OD.
