Abstract
in English, French

Primary epidermoid carcinoma (PEC) also known as squamous cell carcinoma of the breast is a rare tumor accounting for 0.1% to 2% of all breast cancers. It is a metaplastic carcinoma; its histogenesis and prognosis are controversial as well as its clinical and mammographic appearances which are not characteristic compared to other cancers. PEC is characterized by a rapid evolution and treatment is not codified. The purpose of this study is to report the clinical and evolutionary features of a new case of PEC and to conduct a literature review.

Le carcinome épidermoïde primitif (CEP) ou carcinome de cellules squameuses du sein est une tumeur maligne rare des cancers mammaires. D'origine métaplasique, son histogenèse et son pronostic sont controversés ainsi que sa présentation clinique et mammographique n'ont pas de particularité par rapport aux autres cancers. Le CEP du sein se caractérise par une évolution rapide et un traitement non codifiée. Le but de ce travail est de rapporter les aspects cliniques et évolutifs d'un nouveau cas de CEP avec une revue de littérature.
