Context: Squamous cell carcinoma (SCC) of the breast is an extremely rare form of cancer, accounting for approximately 0.04% of all malignant breast tumors. To date, only a limited number of cases of SCC of the breast have been reported, and most of them presented like the usual breast carcinomas.
Case Report: A 39-year-old woman presented with a large breast abscess and signs of sepsis. After surgical debridement of the lesion, histopathological examination of the abscess capsule revealed the presence of SCC of the breast. The definitive treatment for the tumor consisted of modified radical mastectomy with resection of the residual lesion in the right breast.
Conclusions: This unusual case illustrates how an apparently benign disorder such as a breast abscess might be related to a clinically occult malignancy. A review of the literature on SCC of the breast is presented.

Background: Primary breast squamous cell carcinoma (PBSCC) is a unique histopathological type of breast cancer. The majority of current case reports of PBSCC are triple-negative tumors with poor prognosis. Due to its heterogeneous clinical course, no unified management is achieved.

Background: Dermatomyositis is a chronic inflammatory condition affecting muscles and skin, often associated with an increased risk of cancer. Specific autoantibodies, including anti-TIF1 (Transcription Intermediary Factor 1), have been linked to this risk. We present a case of dermatomyositis in a male patient positive for anti-TIF1 antibodies, subsequently diagnosed with squamous cell carcinoma of the tonsil, a novel association not previously documented.

Laryngeal and hypopharyngeal cancers are prominent within head and neck malignancies. The diagnosis of distant metastasis (DM) invariably signals poor prognosis, underscoring the need to optimize current treatment approaches. Patient data for metastatic laryngeal and hypopharyngeal cancer were extracted from the SEER database (2000-2020).

Article Synopsis
- - The study focuses on cutaneous squamous cell carcinoma (CSCC), which is a type of skin cancer that can recur and spread more aggressively in some cases, making it important to monitor survival rates for better patient care and health strategies.
- - Conducted using data from the National Cancer Institute's SEER database, the research analyzed information on 204,055 patients diagnosed with CSCC over two decades, from 2000 to 2019.
- - The researchers assessed patient trends and relative survival rates using a period analysis method to gain insights into the outcomes for people diagnosed with CSCC.
