Basaloid carcinoma

 

 

These low and high magnification photos of the tumor show nests of basaloid cells with peripheral palisading.

 The cells of basaloid carcinoma are positive for cytokeratin and negative for neuroendocrine markers. In some

tumors basaloid pattern is mixed with patterns consistent with adenocarcinoma, large cell carcinoma, or squamous

cell carcinoma. The World Health Organization classifies basaloid carcioma under large cell carcinomas.
