✦ Synopsis

BACKGROUND.

Basosquamous carcinoma is a rare malignancy, with features of both basal cell carcinoma and squamous cell carcinoma. Some authors believe that basosquamous carcinoma merely is a variant of basal cell carcinoma, whereas others have suggested that basosquamous carcinoma may behave more aggressively. To the authors' knowledge the largest published series to date, comprised of 35 cases, was reported ΟΎ 20 years ago. The authors reviewed their recent experience with basosquamous carcinoma to identify prognostic factors influencing recurrence.

METHODS.

The medical records of all patients with the diagnosis of basosquamous carcinoma treated at the University of Louisville-affiliated hospitals between 1985-1988 were reviewed by a senior pathologist. Prognostic factors were analyzed using Cox regression analysis and the log rank test.

Background: Approximately 20% of patients with thyroid carcinoma have relapse. To evaluate the factors affecting their disease-free survival and prognosis, we studied 68 patients with recurrent differentiated thyroid carcinoma, ranging in age from 5 to 73 years (mean: 47.6 years).
