Squamous cell carcinoma (SCC) of the breast is a rare disease. We encountered a case of SCC of the breast that relapsed in the early postoperative period and rapidly progressed thereafter. A 38-year-old woman visited our hospital presenting with a tumor in the left breast consisting of a 5-cm mass with an irregularly sharped wall. Fine needle biopsy examination showed squamous cell carcinoma. A modified radical mastectomy by Auchincloss's method was performed on the left breast. SCC was confirmed by histological examination. Two months later, local recurrence on the chest wall was found during adjuvant chemotherapy. Thereafter, the disease rapidly progressed, and finally, the patient died of respiratory failure caused by lung metastasis. The prognosis of SCC of the breast is recognized as being more unfavorable than that of invasive ductal carcinoma. We should develop an effective chemotherapeutic strategy for this disease.
