Tunio MA, Al Asiri M, Fagih M, Akasha R. Primary squamous cell carcinoma of thyroid: a case report and review of literature. Head Neck Oncol. 2012 Mar 27;4:8.

Conclusion Primary SCC of thyroid is rare and aggressive entity. FNAC is reliable and effective tool for immediate diagnosis. Surgery is a curative option, but it is not always possible as most of cases present as locally advanced with adjacent organs involvement. EBRT alone was found ineffective. Aggressive combined modality (debulking surgery, radiation and chemotherapy) shall be considered for such cases.
