4) The most important factor in the recognition of synovial sarcoma on histopathologic examination is its biphasic pattern--ie, the presence of both epithelial and spindle cell types; hence, it is considered a carcinosarcoma.
Meehan et al (15) reported a patient whose basal cell carcinoma had tumor epithelial and stromal giant cells; although the patient's cancer shared some pathologic features similar to those of carcinosarcoma of the skin (biphasic sarcomatoid basal cell carcinoma), (23,24) the authors considered their patient's tumor to be a variant of pleomorphic basal cell carcinoma.
