Primary squamous cell carcinoma of the thyroid gland a case report
This report describes the diagnosis and treatment of a 73 yr old woman with squamous cell carcinoma of the thyroid gland. Primary squamous cell carcinoma of the thyroid gland is very rare, accounting for about 1.1% (Goldman) of all malignant tumors of the thyroid gland. Neither papillary adenocarcinoma nor squamous cell dysplasia of the thyroid gland which might be precursors of squamous cell carcinoma were detected. Squamous cell carcinoma of the thyroid gland does not respond to either pepleomycin or radiation therapy; the prognosis is very poor.
