Squamous Cell Carcinoma
This patient presented with a longstanding growing lesion that had been inadequately treated and misdiagnosed. Biopsy confirmed invasive SCC.
Excision was performed using primary closure.
Photo 1 is day of procedure, Photo 2 is a week later at removal of suture, and Photo 3 is 3 months post operative.
Length of the excision is key here to avoid dog ear deformity or abnormal contours of the scar which is much more noticeable than the scar itself.
