Abstract

Primary squamous cell carcinoma of the breast is a rare neoplasma included in metaplastic breast cancer. The histogenesis remains unknown. Clinical and radiological appearances are not specific. Nodal involvement is rare and hormones receptors are negative. The treatment is based on surgery associated to radiation therapy and chemotherapy. Prognosis seems to be similar to others breast carcinoma. We report three cases of primary squamous cell carcinoma of the breast recruited at National Institute of Oncology with review of the literature.
