Abstract

We present a clinical case of the diagnosis of a large squamous cell carcinoma in the emergency department. The case shows a failure of primary detection of this type of cancer in primary care. Squamous cell carcinoma is a serious public health problem, which is a preventable tumor since it is associated with sun exposure. The population must be educated to protect themselves from prolonged exposure to the sun. The diagnosis is obtained through histological biopsy study. Lymphatic or perineural dissemination may occur. Treatment depends on factors such as tumor size and whether or not there is distant involvement.
