title: Squamous cell carcinoma manifesting as cutaneous cystic lesions.
abstract: Squamous cell carcinoma (SCC), a malignancy of epidermal keratinocytes, is the second most common cause of skin cancer in the United States. Our case represents an unusual variant of this common tumor. We report a clinical presentation of a case of SCC occurring as cutaneous cystic lesions on the face of an 87-year-old white woman with a medical history of multiple SCCs.
