Primary squamous cell carcinoma (PSCC) of thyroid is an extremely rare malignancy of thyroid. Herewith, we describe a case report of female patient who presented with neck swelling; FNAC misdiagnosed it as papillary carcinoma of thyroid but, after resection, biopsy revealed it to be a case of squamous cell carcinoma of thyroid. After extensive investigations no possible primary focus of squamous cell carcinoma was found elsewhere, so diagnosis of primary squamous cell carcinoma of thyroid was made. Patient underwent chemoradiation but still patient succumbed to death within a year.

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.

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.
