[Squamous carcinoma of the prostate].
A primary squamous cell carcinoma occurring in the prostate of 84 year-old man is described. The patient died of local progression six months after diagnosis. Review of the literature suggests that such a cancer of the prostate is rare, highly aggressive, and responds poorly to any mode of therapy.
