| Popis: | Metatypical Basal Cell Carcinoma, also known as Basosquamous Carcinoma is a subtype of Basal Cell Carcinoma. It is similar to Basal Cell Carcinoma for the gross aspect and regional recurrences, but it has the capacity to spread and develop metastasis. This terrible characteristic endangers the life of the patient if it is not readily recognized by the physicians. Herein we present a report of two patients affected by BSC originating in the nasal region and external ear that after a series of devastating local recurrences metastasized to the lung and bones in one case. The true incidence of Basoquamous Carcinoma may be higher, with underreporting arising because of rarity of diagnosis and lack of awareness on the part of clinicians. Our experience suggests that a deep biopsy is often necessary to discover a BSC that appears as BCC but with local aggressive features. © 2012 Polish Otorhinolaryngology - Head and Neck Surgery Society.
