Squamous Cell Carcinoma (SCC) is the second most common skin cancer after basal cell carcinoma. It is aggressive and has metastasis capability; therefore, timely diagnosis can prevent the occurrence of metastasis. There are some treatments available for SCC, such as radiotherapy, topical chemotherapy, systemic chemotherapy, and surgery. In our case, the surgical treatment and radiotherapy were performed due to the results of the examination reports and large dimensions of the lesion.
