Pure primary gastric squamous cell carcinoma (PGSCC) is a notably rare gastric malignancy. We present the case of a 51-year-old woman with advanced gastric squamous cell carcinoma characterized by a 7.6 cm necrotic mass invading the proximal stomach, liver metastasis, and lymphadenopathy at diagnosis. Despite the lack of standardized treatment protocols, we review tumor markers and potential management strategies, including surgical and chemotherapeutic interventions. The rarity and aggressive nature of PGSCC necessitates further research to develop effective detection and treatment methods to improve patient prognosis and survival outcomes.
