Keywords:
Squamous cell carcinoma, Breast, Prognosis, SCC
Abstract
Primary squamous cell carcinoma (SCC) of the breast is a rare tumour classified as one of the metaplastic carcinomas of the breast. It is a tumour of elderly age group with an incidence of less than 0.1% of all ductal carcinomas. Clinical and biological characteristics of this tumour still remain obscure. The prognosis of this type of breast cancer remains a subject of controversy. We report one such case of primary squamous cell carcinoma of breast with review of literature.
