Abstract
Scalp tumors are typically benign in adults, but malignant forms, such as squamous cell carcinoma, can be severe due to delayed diagnosis and inadequate management. This article presents a rare case of scalp squamous cell carcinoma in a 14-year-old child, developing on a trichilemmal cyst that had been manipulated with traditional products. Surgical excision confirmed clear margins, followed by a skin graft and oncological management without cervical lymph node dissection. This case highlights the rarity of scalp squamous cell carcinoma in children and the importance of early diagnosis and appropriate treatment.
