Squamous cell carcinoma of the thyroid is very rare and fatal disease, with most patients dead within one year or less. The tumor may be derivated from metaplastic squamous elements of the thyroid or from transformation of papillary carcinoma. These lesions are usually uncompletely resectable. They also are radioresistant and chemotherapy inconclusive.
