PY - 2014 DA - 2014/06/18 TI - Primary squamous cell of the thyroid–an abbreviated clinical presentation JO - Journal of Otolaryngology - Head & Neck Surgery SP - 17 VL - 43 IS - 1 AB - Lacking any squamous epithelium, thyroid gland with primary squamous cell carcinoma (PSCC) proves to be an etiopathophysiological quandary. Two major theories do exist, though few cases have been documented to support either. We present a case that supports the “metaplasia” theory, which serves to enhance our understanding of a disease that carries with it a very poor prognosis.
