Abstract

Primary Squamous Cell Carcinoma breast is a rare malignancy. SCC of the breast was first reported by Troell in 1908.The etiology and pathogenesis of squamous cell carcinoma of the breast is still unclear. It is thought to arise directly from the epithelium of the mammary ducts, although an alternate theory is that the tumor arises from foci of squamous metaplasia within a preexisting adenocarcinoma of the breast.These tumors are usually hormone receptor and human epidermal growth factor receptor negative. It is an aggressive tumour with poor prognosis frequently refractory to the conventional chemotherapy for breast cancer. Here we are presenting a case report of a primary squamous cell carcinoma of the breast with brief review of the literature.
