Cutaneous Squamous Cell Carcinoma on the Eyebrow of a Woman: A Rare Case Report.

ABSTRACT

The exact incidence of cutaneous squamous cell carcinoma (CSCC) or nonmelanoma skin cancer is unknown, and it is believed that the rate of occurrence is increasing with the growing elderly population and sun exposure, and it is more prevalent in males than in females. In this article, we describe the case of an 81-year-old woman who presented with a lesion on the right upper eyebrow. The patient had been consulting a dermatologist and undergoing treatment for three months. However, the lesion did not show any signs of improvement, and the dermatologist speculated that it might be a common wound that was healing slowly because of her diabetes. Imaging revealed an ulcerating skin lesion on the right upper eyebrow without connection to the deeper structures. Surgical intervention was chosen with the patient's consent. This rare case of CSCC on a woman's eyebrow showed that skin cancer can occur in unusual locations and in people without risk factors.
