We report a case of a 46-year-old man who had giant squamous cell carcinoma originating from the occipital scalp, invaded occipital bone and dura mater. In the preoperative conference, the dermatologist in our hospital suggested that if the subtotal tumor reduction, reconstructive surgery and chemoradiotherapywere effective, the survival period of this patient would hopefully be more than 2 years. Therefore such therapy was selected and performed, the tumor disappeared completely for 17 months and the quality of life has been maintained. This suggests that squamous cell carcinoma originating from skin does not easily cause metastasis compared with that from lumen in the head and neck region. This multidisciplinary team including a dermatologist, head and neck surgeon, neurosurgeon, radiation oncologist, plastic and reconstructive surgeon, and dentistry and oral surgeon was successful.
