AB  - Basal cell carcinomas (BCC) have been described in various locations such as 
      skin, anal canal, tongue, larynx and recently the lungs. These tumors seem to 
      have a poor prognosis. A series of 115 surgically resected lung tumors, 
      previously classified as poorly or undifferentiated carcinoma was retrospectively 
      reviewed. From those 37 cases were reclassified as BCC and were compared in terms 
      of clinical features and survival with 40 cases reclassified as poorly 
      differentiated squamous cell carcinoma (PDSC) of the lung. There was no 
      difference between the groups with respect to age, clinical presentation, pattern 
      of relapse and cause of death. Median and overall survival were different between 
      the 2 groups, especially for stage I and II patients: 5 years actuarial survival 
      in BCC was 15% and in PDSC 47% p = 0.009). There was also a difference in 
      survival when we studied the patients alive 4 weeks after surgery (p = 0.04). 
      This subset of non small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) has a worse prognosis than 
      other NSCLC.
