Primary Squamous Cell Carcinoma of the Liver

Primary squamous cell carcinoma of the liver (SCC) is a rare and challenging pathology. As an aggressive cancer, the prognosis is extremely poor with less than 12 months overall survival. In view of its low prevalence, we report the case of an elderly patient with primary squamous cell carcinoma of the liver.

A 74-year-old female, with no pathological history, presented with acute right hypochondrium pain associated with shivering, asthenia and weight loss. We diagnosed primary hepatic squamous cell carcinoma by pathological analysis.

Primary hepatic squamous cell carcinoma represents a rare malignant tumour with extremely poor prognosis. There is no established treatment protocol for this disease and a multidisciplinary approach is needed to choose the best therapeutic option.

Primary squamous cell carcinoma of the liver (SCC) is extremely rare, making each case report valuable to the medical community. Documentation and analysis of these cases are crucial to enriching knowledge of this rare disease.The absence of established treatment protocols for primary SCC of the liver highlights the need for a multidisciplinary approach to determine the best therapeutic options, which could include innovative treatments and clinical trials.The importance of documenting cases like this can help build a knowledge database. This can help identify trends, improve diagnostic and treatment strategies, and potentially lead to standardized treatment protocols.
