Introduction: primary squamous cell carcinoma is a well-known entity believed to be most common in the skin and other squamous cell-lined organs such as the esophagus and anus. Breast epidermoid carcinoma is very rare. Observation: we report the observation of a 30 years old woman, mother of 5 children and without particular pathological history addressed from a health center, for a tumor of the right breast evolving for 12 months. The tumor arisen following the drainage of an abscess collected from the right breast. On admission, the physical examination revealed a 6 cm ulcero-budding tumor in the supero-external quadrant, mobile in relation to the deep plane, painless, with the presence of two right axillary adenopathies of 3 cm and 1 cm which were mobile and painless. She performed a mammogram which revealed a mammary mass with fuzzy contours classified ACR4. A biopsy was done which showed a malignant tumor proliferation with predominance of squamous cells. The extension assessment was negative. She had 4 irregular courses of neoadjuvant chemotherapy with tumor stability. She underwent a total mastectomy with axillary dissection as well as radiotherapy of the axillary wall and hollow. The short and medium term follow-ups were simple. Conclusion: Squamous cell carcinoma of the breast is a rare tumor, with non-specific clinical and radiological characteristics and whose prognosis remains pejorative.
