Abstract

Cutaneous squamous cell carcinoma (SCC) results from malignant proliferation of keratinocytes. It usually arises from the development of precursor lesions, however it may grow spontaneously on normal or chronically inflamed skin. Invasive SCC is the second most common type of non-melanoma skin cancer and accounts for 20% of all cutaneous neoplasms. The present paper reports a clinical case of cutaneous SCC, rapidly progressive and with regional metastases, which, even after complete resection of the tumor and regional lymph nodes, showed little therapeutic response and evolved to death.
