AB A  75-year-old  man  presents  with  a  2.6-cm  enlarging  inflamed  tumor  on  the  right  cheek  (Figure  178-1).  He  has  a  history  of  many  actinic  keratoses  and  grew  up  with  significant  sun  exposure.  Scoop  shave  biopsy  is  consistent  with  squamous  cell  carcinoma  (SCC),  and  he  undergoes  Mohs  surgery.  Figure  178-2  shows  a  shave  biopsy  of  a  smaller  lesion  on  the  scalp.  Following  excision,  he  follows  up  regularly  for  skin  exams  in  order  to  detect  any  skin  cancers  or  recurrence  at  an  early  stage.
