Abstract

Squamous cell carcinoma (SCC) of rectum is an uncommonly seen malignancy. It has been difficult to establish the precise etio-pathogenesis due to paucity of cases. For the same reason, the rigorous treatment protocol has not been defined. The available compendium of knowledge about this pathology is based on isolated case reports and case series. We report a case of SCC of rectum who was treated with chemo-radiotherapy.
