Squamous cell carcinoma can mimic fungal dermatitis. This skin cancer may present as a persistent, raised plaque on the thigh, highlighting the need for accurate diagnosis.

Area of Science:

  • Dermatology
  • Oncology

Background:

  • Skin cancer diagnosis can be challenging.
  • Dermatological conditions often present with similar visual characteristics.

Observation:

  • A 78-year-old male presented with a large, 2-year history of a thigh plaque.
  • The plaque featured a raised, elevated border, clinically resembling tinea corporis (fungal dermatitis).

Findings:

  • Histopathological examination confirmed the lesion was squamous cell carcinoma.
  • The clinical presentation mimicked a benign dermatological condition.

Implications:

  • This case underscores the importance of considering malignancy in persistent skin lesions.
  • Dermatologists and oncologists should be aware that squamous cell carcinoma can present as dermatitis-like plaques.
