[Colorectal epidermoid carcinoma and paraneoplastic hypercalcemia].
The squamous cell carcinoma and the adenosquamous cell carcinoma of the colon and rectum are not well know and rare tumours. We report a case of squamous cell carcinoma of the recto-sigmoid who relapses in the liver after surgery of the primary tumour with paraneoplasic hypercalcaemia. We will discuss the pathogenesis, prognosis, associated conditions, clinical features and treatment strategies of squamous and adenosquamous cell carcinoma of the colon and the rectum.
