Abstract:
Primary squamous cell carcinoma of the rectum is a rare malignancy, and the discrete dual lesions of rectum are even rarer. There is currently no effective and satisfactory treatment for this disease. Here we report a case of an elderly female with bi-primary squamous cell carcinoma of the rectum treated with radical resection and radiotherapy. The patient is still alive 43 mo after the initial curative resection of the tumor. We suggest that surgery as the primary treatment followed by concomitant radiotherapy may be an effective protocol for elderly patients with rectal squamous cell carcinoma.
