Summary:Squamous cell carcinoma (SCC) of the colon is a rare malignancy and usually a pathological surprise. Clinical presentation is usually very similar to adeno carcinoma variety. We report a case of a 56 year old male with primary SCC of caecum presenting as small bowel obstruction and managed with surgery and adjuvant chemotherapy. It was labelled as primary SCC after extensive search for other primary malignant SCC in body with possible metastasis to caecum. Due to rarity of the disease and lack of literature standardized protocols for neo-adjuvant and adjuvant therapy are not available. •Primary squamous cell carcinoma colon-a rare entity.•Usually a pathological surprise.•Very similar presentations like adeno counterpart.•Metastasis from other sites must be ruled out.•Treatment not standardized yet.
