Primary squamous cell carcinoma of the stomach: a rare entity

Squamous cell carcinoma (SCC) originating from the stomach is a relatively rare entity. There are theories regarding the development of this rare tumor, but its exact pathogenesis remains obscure. Fewer than 100 cases of primary SCC of the stomach have been presented in the literature. Due to the advanced stage at the time of diagnosis in most of these cases, the prognosis is generally poor. In the case presented here, dissemination of the tumor to the transverse colon, gallbladder and omentum was present at diagnosis. Despite the tumor's advanced stage, complete remission was achieved after six courses of adjuvant chemotherapy with 5-flourouracil and cisplatin. No recurrence has been detected during follow-up. The patient has been healthy with no sign of the disease for three years.

Carcinoma Of The Stomach

Squamous cell carcinoma (SCC) of the stomach is a rare entity. There are several theories regarding the development of this tumor, but its pathogenesis remains obscure. Fewer than 100 cases of primary SCC of the stomach have been published in the literature. Due to advanced stage at the time of diagnosis in most of these cases, the prognosis is generally poor. In the case presented here, endoscopy revealed a vegetative tumor in the stomach described as SCC by biopsy. Following curative surgery, adjuvant chemotherapy was administered; however, the patient died 3 years and 4 months after surgery after recurrence was diagnosed.

Primary squamous cell carcinoma of the renal parenchyma is an extremely rare entity. The diagnosis of squamous cell carcinoma of the renal pelvis is usually unsuspected due to the rarity and inconclusive clinical and radiological features. Most of the patients are diagnosed at an advanced stage and are with poor outcome. Radical nephrectomy is the mainstay of the treatment. We reported a case of squamous cell carcinoma of the kidney in a 50-year-old female who presented with the right sided abdomen pain. The patient was treated with radical nephrectomy.
