- Abstract
Primary squamous cell carcinoma of the endometrium (PESCC) is rare and its pathogenesis is unclear. Identification of PESCC and its differentiation from endometrial involvement by squamous cell carcinoma is essential for correct patient management and is based on strict pathological criteria. We present a case of a 71-year-old patient satisfying the proposed diagnostic criteria for PESCC together with a review of the literature.
