title: Squamous cell carcinoma of the prostate.
abstract: Squamous cell carcinoma of the prostate is rare, accounting for 0.5-1% of all prostatic cancers. It is highly aggressive and responds poorly to any mode of therapy. We present a case of squamous cell carcinoma of the prostate that developed in a patient with prostatic adenocarcinoma following radiation therapy.
