title: [Prostatic epidermoid carcinoma: report of a new case an review of the literature].
abstract: OBJECTIVE
  To study and to review the squamous cell carcinoma of the prostate (SCCP).
  
  
  METHODS
  We report one case of squamous cell carcinoma of the prostate.
  
  
  RESULTS
  A 78-year-old patient was diagnosed of having a squamous cell carcinoma of the prostate. Clinically, the patient presented with severe irritative lower urinary tract symptoms. Treatment was performed by local radiotherapy and response was poor, as it usually happens in this type of tumors. Patient survived seven months after diagnosis. We present the clinical case and a bibliographic review.
  
  
  CONCLUSIONS
  SCCP is a rare, difficult to diagnose and poor in prognosis tumor with very few therapeutic options.
