Squamous cell carcinoma arises from the epidermal layer of skin and primarily occurs on sun-damaged skin. It usually arises from a precancerous lesion, such as actinic keratoses, but it can arise within normal skin. There are various types of squamous cell carcinoma, and treatment is required in all cases. Squamous cell skin cancer has the potential to metastasize to lymph nodes and internal organs. Evaluation by a dermatologist is essential. We encourage sun protection in all our patients.
