Giant squamous cell carcinomas of the shoulder.

Giant squamous cell carcinomas (SCC) larger than 5 cm in diameter are uncommon; there is no guideline on the size of an SCC that is considered giant. Treatment may be difficult with the need for large tissue resections and complex surgical reconstruction. We report a rare case of giant squamous cell carcinoma of the shoulder attached to deep anatomic planes.

The procedure was performed in two surgical steps spaced in time and results were very satisfactory for both us and patient.
