A thirty-four years old woman presented with pure squamous cell carcinoma of the breast, a very rare occurrence in the younger age group. A simple mastectomy with axillary clearance was performed, followed by adjuvant radiotherapy & chemotherapy. The patient is doing well, with no evidence of recurrence thirty months (2 1/2 years after the treatment. Primary pure squamous cell carcinoma of the breast is a very rare disease. The exact histogenesis still remains obscure. There seems to be no specific prognostic correlation with the morphological characteristics of squamous cell carcinoma of the breast. The clinical behaviour of this tumor is also uncertain. Thus, further study is required to determine whether primary pure squamous cell carcinoma of the breast is to be treated as a separate entity or as the common type of breast cancer (i.e. adenocarcinoma or adenocarcinoma with squamous metaplasia.)
一名34岁女性被诊断为纯乳腺鳞状细胞癌，这在年轻人群中极为罕见。患者接受了单纯乳房切除术及腋窝清扫术，随后进行了辅助放疗和化疗。患者情况良好，治疗后30个月（2年半）无复发迹象。原发性纯乳腺鳞状细胞癌是一种非常罕见的疾病。其确切的组织发生仍不清楚。乳腺鳞状细胞癌的形态特征似乎与特定的预后没有关联。这种肿瘤的临床行为也不确定。因此，需要进一步研究以确定原发性纯乳腺鳞状细胞癌应被视为一种独立的疾病，还是应被视为常见类型的乳腺癌（即腺癌或伴有鳞状化生的腺癌）。
