Abstract

The primary squamous cell carcinoma (SCC) of the thyroid gland is a very rare malignity. It is a very aggressive tumor, and its prognosis is extremely bad. Generally it grows fast and applies pressure on the surrounding tissues producing symptoms such as hoarseness and difficulty in swallowing. The suggested treatment, after the diagnosis, is R0 surgical resection if possible. After this treatment, the adjuvant treatment protocol and its benefits are still controversial. In this article, we will introduce a 68-year-old primary thyroid gland squamous cell carcinoma case.
