Waiting For Results On Biopsy?? SSC Possibility
by Anna, Oct 05, 1999 12:00AM
Hello, I recently had a growth removed off my scalp that looked like a wart but it didn't freeze off x 2 attempts. It appeared 6mos ago but seemed to be a firm bump with crusted top.
My doctor thinks it could actually be Sqaunous Cell Carcinoma.
I was told if my biopsy comes back it being maligant then they will refer me to a surgereon for wider margin clean up.
I would like to know if SSC usually stays local to the site and if it rarely spreads to other organs?
Thanks, Anna
