Main Article Content
Abstract
The second most frequent type of non-melanoma skin cancer is cutaneous squamous cell carcinoma (cSCC). We present the case of a squamous cell carcinoma of the scalp with surgical management and the importance of the Ying-yang flap. Ying-Yang flaps" are employed when there is stress on the incision, especially on the scalp and lower extremities.
