title: Magnetic resonance imaging appearance of primary squamous cell carcinoma of the breast.
abstract: Primary squamous cell carcinoma is a rare form of carcinoma of the breast. This article reports on two such lesions with their appearance in magnetic resonance imaging and reviews the scant English literature of the past 10 years. Most of these tumors are circumscribed and have areas of necrosis. The prognosis in patients with this disease is the same as that of adenocarcinoma of the same size and stage.
