BASAL-CELL CARCINOMA WITH NEUROID TYPE NUCLEAR PALISADING - A REPORT OF 3 CASES

Nuclear palisading is a characteristic feature which is typically seen in neural tumours such as neurilemmoma. and also in some other tumour s. We report here three patients with basal cell carcinoma who showed histological patterns similar to nuclear palisading. To our knowledge, this is the first such case report in the medical literature: we appl y the term 'neuroid-type nuclear palisading' to these cases. In our pa tients, the spindle-shaped tumour cells were tightly packed and the nu clei were arranged uniformly to form this rare feature.
