More Information
Summary:Primary colorectal squamous cell carcinoma (SCC) is an extremely rare subtype of colon cancer, with an incidence of less than 1% of colorectal malignancies. We report a case of a 40-year-old male patient admitted to the emergency department with symptoms of acute intestinal obstruction. Histopathological evaluation of colonoscopic biopsies revealed squamous cell carcinoma. A sigmoidectomy was performed. In order to enrich the medical literature, we add our case to the collection of colorectal squamous cell carcinoma cases by analyzing and summarizing the clinical, pathological, and therapeutic features of this rare entity.
