An unusual case of polypoid carcinoma in a 72‐year‐old woman is reported. The tumor showed a pedunculated growth on the lateral border of the tongue and was composed of a malignant basaloid component in intimate association with definable foci of epithelial dysplasia of the surface mucosa. It was considered that histlogic features of the present case corresponded with those of basaloid squamous carcinoma.
