  Fig. 1 (A) Extensive squamous cell carcinoma (SCC) of the scalp with giant reddish plaques and yellowish discharge. The scalp bone was partially absent. (B) Histopathological evaluation reveals a well-differentiated SCC with irregular nests of epidermal cells, dermal invasion, and keratin production upon H&E (×40). (C) Brain computed tomography (CT) and (D) angio-CT imaging identifying a large inflammatory mass formation with osteolysis and extra-axial enhancing mass lesion with heterogeneous density and bilateral parietal parenchymal invasion.
