Basaloid squamous cell carcinoma of nasopharynx: an extremely rare variety of tumour of nasopharynx.

Nasopharyngeal carcinoma is the predominant tumour type arising in the nasopharynx with cervical lymphadenopathy present in 60-90% of all cases at the time of presentation. The most pathological varieties include squamous cell carcinoma well-differentiated keratinising, and moderately differentiated non-keratinising and an undifferentiated type. The rare variety of squamous cell carcinoma is basaloid type, according to the "WHO Classification of Tumours Pathology and Genetics: Head and Neck Tumours". In this study, we present a case of basaloid squamous cell carcinoma of nasopharynx in a 41-year female who presented with epistaxis and bilateral cervical lymphadenopathy.
