Skeletal Mets From Squamous Cell Carcinoma of the Lower Limb: A Case Report

Squamous cell carcinoma (SCC) is the second most common non-melanoma skin cancer worldwide and one of the most capable of metastasis.

description Squamous cell carcinoma (SCC) is the second most common non-melanoma skin cancer worldwide and one of the most capable of metastasis. The bone is a common metastatic site of cancers, which is a major cause of morbidity, with an estimated 350,000 people dying yearly from bone metastases. However, bone metastasis from an SCC in the lower limb is rarely reported in the literature and the role of systemic chemotherapy is not well established. We report a case of a 72-year-old gentleman with an SCC metastasis of the bone. This patient received six cycles of platinum-based chemotherapy with no surgical or radiation intervention.
