Gastric Squamous Cell Carcinoma: A Case Report

Abstract

Gastric squamous cell carcinoma is rarely seen and affects mostly elder patients. A 78-year-old woman presented with nausea, vomiting, weight loss, and epigastric pain. There was an ulcero-vegetative mass in the posterior area from the large curvature to the antrum in the endoscopic examination. The gastroesophageal junction and cardia were also normal. We performed a diagnostic endoscopic biopsy. Histopathologically, it was composed of atypical squamous cells displaying infiltrating solid nests in a desmoplastic stroma. Immunohistochemically, the neoplastic cells also showed positivity for p40 and p63 and negativity for CEA. Besides, there was no radiological evidence of metastasis from other organs. We herein presented a case of gastric squamous cell carcinoma and discussed its clinical and morphological features with the literature.
