Abstract

Background: Primary squamous cell carcinoma (SCC) is an uncommon tumor of the prostate gland. A 65-year old man complained of obstructive symptoms.

Methods/results: Transrectal palpation and diagnostic imaging indicated an ordinary adenocarcinoma, although serum prostate-specific antigen (PSA) was normal. Biopsy specimens revealed SCC with the serum SCC antigen elevated. The patient was treated with pelvic irradiation and systemic administration of cis-platinum and peplomycin, which resulted in shrinkage of the cancer.

Conclusion: No evidence of recurrence has been seen for 18 months.
