Basosquamous carcinoma (BSC) is a rare malignancy with features of both basal cell carcinoma (BCC) and squamous cell carcinoma (SCC) with potential for infiltration and destruction. This is a report of a florid scalp lesion of BSC with erosion of the skull. A preoperative diagnosis of BCC was made following a biopsy. However further evaluation of the excised lesion revealed BSC. The prevalence of this potentially aggressive neoplasm could be under reported due to inadequate histological evaluation and diagnosis.
