Popis: Introduction: The primary squamous cell carcinoma of the endometrium is a rare tumor. The incidence of these tumors is extremely low. Case Presentation: We report the case of an old patient of 67 years old, married with 5 children, 9 years since menopause. She consults for spontaneous postmenopausal bleeding with alteration of general state. The patient underwent hysteroscopy with biopsy endometrial curettage. Histology showed an adenocarcinoma endometroide grade 2. Then a total hysterectomy with bilateral adnexectomyand pelvic node dissection and multiple biopsies were realized. The anatomopathological examination showed a moderately differentiated non keratinizing squamous cell carcinoma without cervical location. The decision of the multidisciplinary consultation meetings was to complete the surgery by adjuvant radiotherapy. The patient presented a large retroperitoneal later aortic mass of 105mm and deceased one year later Conclusion: The primary endometrial carcinoma, squamous cell (PESCC) is an extremely rare tumor and its pathogenesis remains unclear. There are no guidelines for how it should be treated: a first surgery with or without adjuvant therapy are offered
