The pathological type of simple squamous carcinoma in colorectal malignancies is rare. Simple squamous cell carcinoma of the colorectum occurs most frequently in the rectum. The clinicopathological features and biological behaviors of squamous colorectal carcinoma are unclear, and its prognosis may be worse than that of simple adenocarcinoma. Studies on squamous colorectal cancer are currently limited to case reports, and there is no standard treatment protocol. Therefore, more case reports are required to fully understand squamous colorectal cancer.
