Journal Title: Journal of Medical Science And clinical Research - Year 2016, Vol 4, Issue 7
Abstract
Squamous cell carcinoma of the breast is an uncommon breast neoplasm. A forty five year old woman, was referred to Maharaja Yashwantrao Hospital, Indore following a diagnosis of carcinoma breast. She noticed a painless swelling in the right upper quadrant four weeks earlier and simultaneously developed a mass in the axillary region. A Fungating growth on the skin was identified. Physical examination revealed fungating growth in the skin, with no mass in the axilla. The occurrence of pure squamous cell carcinoma in younger age group is a rarity. Squamous cell carcinoma of breast is one such mystery, which is encountered very rarely. Its clinical behavior should not be correlated with the standard infiltrating duct carcinoma of breast. It follows an atypical presentation in terms of tumor size, lymph node and systemic spread. Squamous cell carcinoma of the breast is a rare and aggressive disease, and it has significantly worse prognosis than other nonsquamous cell tumours of the breast. Clinicians should be aware of aggressive nature of the tumour when counseling patients
