The . ABSTRACT Basal cell tumors (BCT) are tumors usually derived from pluripotential stem cell compartments of the basal layer of epidermis and / or oral epithelium . BCTs are infrequent entities in the oral cavity and are not discussed separately in general and oral pathology . A literature review did not reveal any classification of tumors with basaloid morphology . This paper is an attempt to categorize the oral neoplasms with basaloid morphology and discuss their differential diagnoses in detail . A review of the literature was carried out to rule out the frequency of different oral BCTs reported in the literature . Additionally , a simple working classification of oral BCTS has been proposed . We hope that this classification will be helpful for oral and general pathologists and students .
