Primary squamous cell carcinoma

Sažetak
A case of primary squamous cell carcinoma of the endometrium (PSCCE) in a virgin treated with surgery--abdominal hysterectomy and bilateral salpingo-oophorectomy, and followed by whole pelvic radiation is presented. The tumor recurred 12 months later and the patient then underwent relaparotomy and excision of recurrent tumor of the pelvis ; right hemicolectomy and rectosigmoidectomy were done due to recurrence and metastasis of the primary tumor. After re-operation, six courses of cisplatin and 5-fluorouracil were given intravenously for cytotoxic effects at 3-week intervals. The patient's disease progressed despite therapy, and she died three months after the last cycle or 21 months after the first diagnosis was made.
