Squamous cell carcinoma is a cutaneous tumor with significant relevance in tropical climate countries such as Brazil, since chronic exposure to ultraviolet radiation is one of the important factors to disease development. The aim of this paper is to describe the treatment alternatives to squamous cell carcinoma in cats, with special emphasis to photodynamic therapy. The choice of treatment modalities should be determinated according to tumor staging, general state of the patient, owner’s cooperation, and availability of equipment and drugs. The early diagnosis has fundamental effect on prognosis.
