“…The cephalic region may be affected by any type of skin cancer, among which the most common are BCC followed by SCC and melanoma [1]. Basal cell carcinoma is characterized by a local invasive potential, yet it may cause significant tissue destruction to the cephalic region [5,6]. Current guidelines subdivide BCC into low-risk (nodular and superficial) and high-risk (micronodular, infiltrating and morphoeic, squamous differentiation subtypes) [3,4].…”

Background: The most malignant skin tumors of the head are dominated by epithelial cancers, particularly basal cell carcinomas, followed by squamous cell carcinomas and melanomas. Herein, we present a case series of malignant skin cancers in the cephalic region. We address their epidemiological, clinical, histological, and therapeutic profiles in our context. Materials and Methods: This was a prospective study conducted for descriptive purposes on cases of skin cancer, including melanoma, squamous cell carcinoma, and basal cell carcinoma, followed at the dermatology department of CHU Hassan II Fez between June 2017 and December 2021. Results: We collected a total of 260 patients with different types of skin cancer. 147 cases (57%) were in the cephalic location: 56% presented squamous cell carcinoma, followed by melanoma (22%) and basal cell carcinoma (21%). Conclusion: The early detection of skin cancer is essential to reduce the functional morbidity and mortality associated with these tumors, especially in these cephalic locations. Key words: Cutaneous tumors, Cephalic region, Early diagnosis

“…The development of SCC in EC occurs most frequently on the head and neck [17,18], trunk [19] and thigh. Other reported sites are scrotum [20], perineal regions [7,21], sublingual gland [22], vulva [23] and breast [24]. After reviewing all reported 94 cases, it was obvious that they are more frequent in males with incidence of 65% (table I).…”

“…All these lesions have a far lesser incidence than squamous cell carcinoma [6]. The development of true squamous cell carcinoma, in a pre-existing cutaneous epidermal cyst, is a rare event with incidence of 0.011-0.045% [7].…”

“…These signs and symptoms may include the cyst changing into a firmer mass, pain, discharge, inflammation, ulceration, bleeding, rapid increase in size, inflammation or infection not responding to conservative treatment. Such findings may alert the clinician to excise the lump and examine it [7,31,37,38].…”

Epidermal cysts are a common benign skin abnormality, comprising 85-90% of all excised skin cysts. The term epidermal inclusion cyst refers specifically when the cyst resulted from the implantation of epidermal elements in the dermis. Squamous cell carcinomas (SCCs) are common skin lesions; however, a malignant transformation of an epidermal cyst is very rare with incidence of 0.011-0.045%. Few cases of malignant transformation of an epidermal cyst have been reported in the literature so far. This paper presents a case of squamous cell carcinoma arising from a scrotal epidermal cyst.
