Abstract

BALLESTERO-PEREZ, Araceli et al. Primary squamous cell carcinoma of the rectum: an atypical histology. Rev. esp. enferm. dig. [online]. 2016, vol.108, n.12, pp.826-835. ISSN 1130-0108.  https://dx.doi.org/10.17235/reed.2016.3975/2015.

Squamous cell carcinoma of the rectum is one of the differential diagnoses of rectal tumors. It represents a low incidence in the population. The etiopathogenesis and the biology of these tumors are unclear, for this reason the gold standard treatment is difficult to establish. We present a 47-years-old woman who had a squamous cell carcinoma in medium rectum. She was treated with radiation therapy and chemotherapy and the treatment was followed by surgical excision.
