Abstract

Primary squamous cell carcinoma (SCC) is an uncommon tumor of the prostate, with a median incidence of 0.5-1% of all prostate malignancies. Only one case of prostate SCC has been reported in Korean medical literature. Prostate SCC usually presents clinical and evolutive aspects that are different from those of prostate adenocarcinoma, have poor response to any therapy, and shows extremely poor prognosis. We report a case of prostate SCC with rectal invasion in a 64-year-old man who complained of acute urinary retention.
