Abstract | Cutaneous squamous-cell carcinoma (cSCC) is the second most common skin cancer, with local recurrence rates of up to 10% in the scalp. To date there have been no direct comparisons of recurrence rates or deep margin involvement for surgical excision to different anatomical layers of the scalp. A multi-centre retrospective study of all cSCC excised from the scalp from 2015 to 2020 was conducted. Two hundred and seventy nine patients (17-female, 262-male) met the inclusion criteria (median age 82.2 years), incorporating a total of 302 cSCC's. Primary excision depth was galea in 80 cases and periosteum in 222 (26.5% and 73.5% respectively). A significantly greater proportion of lesions excised to galea had involved or close (<1mm) deep margins ( |
