Primary gastric squamous cell carcinoma – a case report of diagnosis, treatment, histological findings and follow-up

Abstract

Primary squamous cell carcinoma (PSCC) of the stomach is a rare oncologic disease with a reported incidence of only 0.04%. Therefore, there are no evidence-based recommendations for treatment. We present the case of a 73-year-old patient with PSSC. Multivisceral resection had to be performed to achieve tumor-free resection margins. Preoperative investigations, surgical treatment, histologic criteria and findings, and follow-up are presented.

Zusammenfassung

Das primäre Plattenepithelkarzinom (PSCC) des Magens ist eine seltene onkologische Erkrankung mit einer berichteten Inzidenz von nur 0,04 %. Daher sind keine evidenzbasierten Behandlungsempfehlungen verfügbar. Wir stellen den Fall eines 73-jährigen Patienten mit PSSC vor. Es musste eine multiviszerale Resektion durchgeführt werden, um tumorfreie Resektionsränder zu erreichen. Präoperative Diagnostik, chirurgische Behandlung, histologische Kriterien und Befunde sowie die Nachsorge werden dargestellt.
