Abstract

We here present a 56-year-old retired Veteran Caucasian man who fought in the Korean War but with an unclear history of Agent Orange exposure, presenting with a one-year history of progressively enlarging lesion on his trunk that was neglected to the extent of progressing to be a large, extensive, deep, non-healing wound extending into the fascia with exposed ribs and spinous processes. Pathological examination showed an invasive cutaneous squamous cell carcinoma (cSCC) composed of malignant cells with basaloid features and squamous differentiation with associated necrosis, acute inflammation, and osteomyelitis. The patient was successfully treated with immunotherapy (Cemiplimab) targeting PD-1.
