Description: This patient had a slowly expanding scalp lesion removed from her scalp. This progressed over several months and was thought to be a Basal Cell Cancer but pathology confirmed that this was actually a Squamous Cell Cancer. As this lesion was fairly large and additional consult to plastics was put through and additional tissue was taken out about a month later. She has now healed nicely and is doing well. In the future, I'll try to zoom in on this better so you can appreciate the abnormal versus normal tissue a bit easier.
