Abstract

ABSTRACT

Primary gastric squamous cell carcinoma (SCC) is an extremely rare type of gastric cancer, accounting for less than 1% of all gastric malignancies. It has not previously been reported in Bhutan. We report a case of primary gastric squamous cell carcinoma in a 57-year-old Bhutanese woman, initially misdiagnosed as poorly differentiated adenocarcinoma. This report highlights the diagnostic challenges, management approach, and importance of histopathological accuracy.
