Sumario:Squamous cell carcinoma (SCC) of the rectum is a rare malignancy, and the optimal treatment strategy remains unknown. Cases are limited in the literature, and although historically treated with surgical resection, more recent cases have suggested success with chemotherapy. Although Nigro protocol was initially developed for anal SCC, we present a case of rectal SCC successfully treated with the Nigro protocol. Our case supports the use of chemoradiotherapy as initial treatment for rectal SCC over surgery.
