Abstract

Introduction: Squamous cell carcinoma of the stomach is of rare occurrence with only a few cases reported in the medical literature.
Case: We hereby present the case of a 73 year old male who presented to us with complains of abdominal pain, generalized weakness along with weight loss. His upper and lower GI endoscopies revealed no visible abnormality, following which a CT CAP was done and showed a soft tissue mass involving the stomach. EUS guided biopsies were done and revealed moderate to poorly differentiated squamous cell carcinoma. Later on radial EUS was done for staging purpose and showed T2/3, N1 disease. He was referred to the oncology team where he was administered chemotherapy on the lines of squamous cell carcinoma and is currently on regular follow-up.
Conclusion: Our case shows that in spite of having a poor come, early identification may have better consequences in the long run for these patients.
