Abstract

This report details a rare case of squamous cell carcinoma (SCC) in the stomach, a condition accounting for only a fraction of gastric carcinomas. A 46-year-old male patient with dysphagia, abdominal pain, and haematemesis was diagnosed with primary gastric SCC displaying aggressive metastasis, an exceptionally low-incidence condition affecting mainly males in their sixth decade of life. Primary gastric SCC, though clinically similar to adenocarcinoma, involves a bleaker prognosis, lacking standardized treatment protocols. Histopathology and imaging confirmed the diagnosis, highlighting the challenges in managing advanced cases. Palliative chemotherapy showed partial remission but led to severe neuropathy. The case underscores the urgent need for research to understand the pathogenesis, effective management, and therapeutic targets for primary gastric SCC, emphasizing its scarcity and poor prognosis in medical literature. Increased clinical awareness and ongoing research are crucial for improving outcomes in such rare presentations.

Resumen

Este informe detalla un caso raro de carcinoma de células escamosas (CCE) en el estómago, una afección que representa sólo una fracción de los carcinomas gástricos. A un hombre de 46 años con disfagia, dolor abdominal y hematemesis, se le diagnosticó CCE gástrico primario que mostraba metástasis agresiva, una afección de incidencia excepcionalmente baja que afecta principalmente a hombres en su sexta década de vida. El CCE gástrico primario, aunque clínicamente similar al adenocarcinoma, conlleva un pronóstico más sombrío y carece de protocolos de tratamiento normalizados. La histopatología y las imágenes confirmaron el diagnóstico, destacando los desafíos en el manejo de casos avanzados. La quimioterapia paliativa mostró una remisión parcial pero provocó una neuropatía grave. El caso subraya la necesidad urgente de realizar investigaciones para comprender la patogénesis, el manejo eficaz y los objetivos terapéuticos del CCE gástrico primario, enfatizando su escasez y mal pronóstico en la literatura médica. Una mayor conciencia clínica y una investigación continua son cruciales para mejorar los resultados en presentaciones tan raras.
