Abstract :

Squamous cell carcinoma east is an uncommon east neoplasm accounting only less than 0.1% of all east neoplasms. It is a type of metaplastic east carcinoma where part or all of the carcinomatous epithelium is transformed into non glandular elements. Clinically it behaves quite different from adenocarcinoma east. Generally this disease has a poor outcome and the natural history remain confusing. There is no standardised treatment regimen for this condition and in most occasions, treatment is based on corresponding clinical stage in ductal adenocarcinoma. Described here is a case of 46 year old female with a east lump, wide local excision of which revealed squamous cell carcinoma of east and then upon the aggressiveness of the condition underwent modified radical mastectomy. The patient is on regular follow up.
