Abstract:
Squamous cell carcinoma (SCC) and basal cell carcinoma (BCC) are the most common non-melanoma skin cancers, with exposure to ultraviolet (UV) light being the most important risk factor. These tumors usually affect older individuals with fair complexions. The co-occurrence of two or more non-melanoma skin cancers is a rare clinical event, the diagnosis of which rests on pathologic examination of the excised tumors. In this study, we report a case of the concurrent occurrence of three non-melanoma skin cancers on the head of a 90-year-old male patient with a history of long-term exposure to UV.
