Open Access

Abstract

Squamous cells are normally not found inside the breast. Therefore, a primary squamous cell carcinoma of breast is an exceptional phenomenon and the management of this type of disease is still debated. The prognosis is poor, and hence there is a clinical trend to offer multimodal treatment options of surgery, chemotherapy and radiation therapy. Aim: Clinical outcome assessment of patient with squamous cell carcinoma of the breast and management decisions. Materials and methods: we report case of primary squamous cell carcinoma of the breast T2N0Mx in a 78-years-old woman who underwent modified radical mastectomy (MRM) plus adjuvant chemotherapy and hormonal therapy without radiation therapy and review literature for appropriate management decisions. Results: With a follow up of 24 months, the patient is alive with no of local or distant recurrence. Conclusions: Pure primary cell carcinoma of the breast is rare and aggressive disease, often treatment -refractory, our case show that the hormonal therapy after surgery and chemotherapy, allows to achieve a high local control. Multidisciplinary approach seems to be the optimal management for early stages in this rare disease.
