Abstract
We reported a case of spindle cell squamous cell carcinoma.
The patient was a 73-year-old man who developed an ulcerated nodule, 2.8×2.0cm in size, on the burn scar of the head. Histologically, the tumor was composed of disorderly arranged atypical spindle cells, and mitotic figures were often found. Immunohistological studies showed positive reaction of these cells for vimentin and CAM5.2. [Skin Cancer (Japan) 2001; 16: 251-254]
