Recurrent Squamous Cell Carcinoma of Scalp: A Therapeutic Challenge and Literature Review.

ABSTRACT

Th e skin is the largest organ of the body and is mainly responsible for the cosmetic appearance of the body. Squamous cell carcinomas (SCCs) are a group of cancers arising from a squamous layer of epithelium. Th e squamous cells are the main part of the epidermis of the skin, and this cancer is one of the major forms of skin cancer. Squamous cells also occur in the lining of the digestive tract, lungs, and other areas of the body. SCC is commonly seen on the ear, lower lip, face, and rarely on the scalp. Here, we report a case of 63-year-old female with recurrent SCC of the scalp, the available treatment modalities and a review of the literature.
