ABSTRACT
Primary epidermoid carcinoma (PEC) also known as squamous cell carcinoma of the breast are rare. They are tumors of metaplastic origin whose definition and histogenesis are controversial in the literature. The clinical and mammographic findings are not specific, however, the necrotic and fluid aspect of the lesions should be sought on breast ultrasound. The diagnosis is histological and is made on biopsy. Breast PEC is known to be low lymphophilic and non-hormone-dependent. Treatment is poorly codified and is based on surgery, radiotherapy and chemotherapy. These tumors have a poor prognosis because of their rapid evolution. We report a case of squamous cell carcinoma of the breast collected at the Gynaecological-Mammary Unit of the National Institute of Oncology at the Ibn Sina University Hospital in Rabat and a review of the literature.
