Clinical case of a giant sarcomatoid carcinoma of the skin arising in the postauricular area
Abstract
Sarcomatoid carcinoma of the skin is a rare and aggressive variant of cutaneous squamous cell carcinoma characterized by poor differentiation. Due to the limited number of reported cases, there are no standardized approaches to management, making individual case reports particularly valuable. We describe a young patient presenting with a rapidly enlarging giant sarcomatoid carcinoma of the postauricular region with ulceration and bleeding. A combinedmodality treatment, including surgery and chemoimmunotherapy, resulted in complete clinical and radiological disease control, with no evidence of recurrence at follow-up.
