Breast squamous cell carcinoma (SCC) is a rare form of breast cancer and is highly malignant; diagnosis is based on histological examination after eliminating the primary tumor; clinical and radiological examination is not specific; treatment is the same as for invasive ductal carcinoma; prognosis is poor due to tumor size and lymph node involvement. We report a case of breast SCC in a 53-year-old patient who was examined in the obstetrics and gynecology department of the hospital in Casablanca. Through this case, we raise the main characteristics of this rare type of breast cancer. As a conclusion, the etiology and pathogenesis of SCC of the breast is still unclear.
