Abstract
We present a case of squamous cell carcinoma of the scalp, treated with local excision and flap reconstruction. We discuss the treatment modalities of this pathology with particular attention to the role of surgery and adjuvant radiotherapy. The Authors suggest the systematic use of subgaleal drainage to avoid the hematoma and/or seroma occurrence.
