Cutaneous squamous cell carcinoma of the scalp in the immunocompromised patient: review of 53 cases

Conclusions Immunocompromised patients with scalp SCC have a poor prognosis. Early detection and treatment are crucial. Based on our results, we recommend wide local excision with at least outer-table calvarial resection, and post-operative radiation. Despite aggressive therapy, patients may still have distant, local, or regional recurrence. Level of evidence: level 2b (retrospective cohort)
