An 80 year-old man presented subacutely with a well-circumscribed superior orbital mass and associated ipsilateral numbness in the frontal nerve distribution. Histopathology after open biopsy revealed well-differentiated invasive squamous cell carcinoma [SCC]. Though no previous history of cancer was elicited from the patient, his dermatologist reported removing three squamous cell carcinomas from the right forehead in the past ten years. Herein, we report a case of perineural orbital spread of distant primary cutaneous SCC.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
