Abstract

Squamous cell carcinoma (SCC) of the breast is very rare entity and when encountered it is found
in association with invasive ductal carcinoma of the breast. We report a very unusual association
of an invasive lobular carcinoma with metaplastic squamous cell carcinoma of the breast which
was found not only in a mastectomy specimen but also in the axillary lymph nodes. The patient
reported first with a lump breast which was diagnosed a case of invasive lobular carcinoma in a
lumpectomy specimen, followed by adjunct radiation and chemotherapy. We encountered such
association in only one case report in the literature.
Keywords: squamous cell carcinoma, lobular carcinoma, Mastectomy, axillary lymph nodes
