AI Article Synopsis
- A rare case of Basaloid Squamous Cell Carcinoma (BSCC) in the retromolar trigone is discussed, with only three similar cases documented in existing literature.
- Two cases of BSCC are compared: one showed slow progression with no nodal metastases over four months, while the other experienced rapid progression with neck swelling and nodal involvement in just two weeks.
- Treatment plans were customized; the first patient received intraoral tumor excision and radiotherapy, while the second underwent bilateral neck dissection and chemoradiotherapy, both resulting in successful outcomes with no disease recurrence.
Article Abstract
We describe a rare case of BSCC in the retromolar trigone with only 3 other cases in the literature and also compare the differences between 2 cases of BSCC in terms of presentation and progression. The first patient had a markedly slower progression with painful retromolar trigone swelling over 4 months without nodal metastases. In contrast, the second patient gave a 2-week history of neck swelling with nodal involvement, indicating extremely rapid progression. Our management was tailored accordingly with the first patient undergoing intraoral excision of tumour and adjuvant radiotherapy while the other had bilateral neck dissection with postoperative chemoradiotherapy. Both patients achieved good outcome and are free from disease.
