“…But some other researchers (Chen et al, 2012;Imamhasan et al, 2012) demonstrated that the MST and 5-year OS of patients with BSCCE, which are close to our results, were significantly worse than those with well differentiated SCC, and similar to those of poorly and moderately differentiated SCC. Soriano et al (2008) recommended that basaloid squamous cell carcinoma be considered as a poor histo-pathological entity and careful attention should be paid to its management. Actually, we currently devise our therapeutic plans based on the concept that BSCCE is, in itself, a criterion of an unfavorable prognosis.…”

“…According to the Ming classification, the infiltrative type has a worse prognosis than the expansive type [4,9]. In addition to the histopathologic type, FDG PET/CT plays a significant role in predicting the prognosis of many kinds of cancers, and several studies have shown that a higher degree of FDG uptake is associated with worse prognosis [14,15]. In gastric cancer, there are controversies about whether the FDG uptake is a prognostic factor.…”

“…Many studies have reported a correlation among the degree of FDG uptake, histopathologic features and the prognosis in different kinds of cancers [14][15][16]. However, in patients with gastric cancer, there are controversial, limited data on whether the degree of FDG uptake is predictive of prognosis.…”

Purpose Histopathologic features could affect the FDG uptake of primary gastric cancer and detection rate on FDG PET/CT. The aim of this study was to evaluate the FDG uptake of primary gastric cancer by correlating it with the histopathologic features of the tumors. Methods Fifty patients with locally advanced gastric adenocarcinoma who were referred for preoperative FDG-PET/CT scans were enrolled in this study. The detection rate of PET/ CT and maximum standardized uptake values (SUV max ) of the primary tumor were compared using the WHO, Lauren, Ming and Borrmann classifications and tumor size and location. Results In 45 of the 50 patients (90 %), the primary gastric tumors were detected by FDG PET/CT. On comparison using the WHO classification, the detection rate and SUV max of the tubular type were significantly higher than those of the poorly cohesive type. On comparison using the Lauren and Ming classifications, the SUV max s of the intestinal type and expanding type were significantly higher than those of the diffuse and infiltrative type, respectively. On comparison using the Borrmann classification and tumor size and location, there was no significant difference in the detection rate and SUV max of primary gastric tumors. Conclusion This study demonstrates that the poorly cohesive type according to the WHO classification, diffuse type according to the Lauren classification and infiltrative type according to the Ming classification have low FDG uptake in patients with locally advanced gastric carcinoma. Understanding the relationship between primary tumor FDG uptake and histopathologic features would be helpful in detecting the primary tumor by FDG PET/CT in patients with gastric cancer.

“…Discussion BSCC was first described as a distinct entity by Wain et al [1]. Studies have showed that BSCC has a predilection for the larynx, hypopharynx, and base of tongue [2,3,7]. Since Wain's first report, BSCC has also been identified at other locations including lung, esophagus, anus, and uterine cervix [8,9].…”

Basaloid squamous cell carcinoma (BSCC) is a distinctive variant of squamous cell carcinoma (SCC) with more aggressive behavior. It occurs preferentially in the upper aerodigestive tract. Sinonasal tract BSCC is uncommon, and only limited studies have been reported in literature. In these studies, most BSCCs arose from the nasal mucosa with or without extension to the paranasal sinuses. Rare reported cases of BSCC involved only the paranasal sinus. In this report, we present a case of a female patient with a sphenoid sinus mass. Clinically, the patient had progressively decreasing vision and headache. Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) and computerized tomographic (CT) scan showed an infiltrating tumor mass involving the sphenoid sinus and the sella with compression of the optic nerve. Pathologic examination revealed an invasive basaloid epithelial neoplasm that was arranged in lobules, nests and cords. The tumor also showed palisading of peripheral cells, focal abrupt squamous differentiation and in situ carcinoma in the surface mucosa. In the immunohistochemical studies, this tumor revealed a strongly positive nuclear staining for p63. The morphologic and ancillary studies indicated a BSCC. To the best of our knowledge, this is the first report of sinonasal tract BSCC that mainly involved the sphenoid bone and sella. In this region, BSCC should be distinguished from benign and malignant neoplasms that more often affect sella and base of skull, such as pituitary adenoma with extensive necrosis, small cell neuroendocrine carcinoma (SCNC), olfactory neuroblastoma, malignant germ cell tumor, paranasal adenoid cystic carcinoma (ACC), and a variety of metastatic malignancies.
