Primary squamous cell carcinoma is rare malignancy as far as stomach is concerned. Less than 100 cases were reported in the literature. Patient presented in advanced stages so, in most of these cases, the prognosis is generally poor. Because stomach is lined by glandular epithelium, most common carcinoma is adenocarcinoma in stomach and squamous carcinoma is not commonly seen. There are several theories regarding the development of this tumor but pathogenesis remains unclear. In this study we confirmed a case of primary gastric squamous cell carcinoma which is rare entity. We present case of 48 yr old female with ulcerative growth at fundus of stomach.
