We present the case of a 56-year old patient with primary squamous cell carcinoma of the breast. She underwent a radical mastectomy with adjuvant chemotherapy, consisting of carboplatinum and gemcitabine, and consecutive radiotherapy. Twenty-seven months after her treatment she is still disease-free. Hormonal therapy was initiated for a small tubular carcinoma and is continuing. As yet, there is uncertainty about the correct management of this rare and aggressive type of cancer, but there is growing evidence that adjuvant platinum-based regimens, especially cisplatinum, might be effective in inducing long-term complete remission.
