Figure

  • Fig. 1 Clinical and histopathologic features of squamous cell carcinoma (SCC). (A) Erythematous crusted plaque on the right temple. (B, C) Skin biopsy specimen with serous crust and atypical keratinocytes invading the dermis, which led to the diagnosis of invasive SCC (H&E: B, original magnification; C, ×200). We received the patient's consent form about publishing all photographic materials.

  • Fig. 2 Clinical and histopathologic features after treatment. (A) Brownish patch on the treated area. (B, C) Skin biopsy specimen revealed no residual tumor (H&E: B, original magnification; C, ×100).
