Abstract

A 83-year-old man presented with a large tumour on his head. He had been postponing his visit due to COVID. Physical examination revealed an ulcerating, bleeding tumour of 5.5x5x3 cm. Histologic analyses showed a poorly differentiated squamous cell carcinoma. Additional imaging displayed damage of the tabula externa without pathological lymph nodes.
