Abstract
We report a case of a 33-year old woman with a squamous-cell carcinoma of the rectum, of the basaloid subtype, infiltrating the uterus. The pathologic data and imaging findings that document the presence of the primary tumor of the rectum are presented in detail. Basaloid tumor is a histologic subtype of squamous-cell carcinoma arising usually in the anal canal. In this article we present a case of basaloid carcinoma of the rectum outside the anal canal with a bibliographical review of this rare clinical entity.
