Abstract
We report two cases of malignant scalp tumor in young individuals. A 9-year-old girl with recurrent occipital dermatofibrosarcoma protuberans underwent radical resection of the tumor. The extent of the tumor was determined by means of serial frozen sections, and the scalp defect was immediately reconstructed by moving of the skin flaps. In the second case, a 24-year-old male developed squamous cell carcinoma from a long-standing scar in the right retroauricular region. The lesion was radically removed, along with the underlying bone. Descriptions of these two cases and a review of the literature are presented.
