Sarcomas of the scalp are a large group of rare aggressive neoplasms of the head and neck originating from bony or soft tissue elements. Scalp sarcomas can present as small plaque-like lesions to multifocal nodules with involvement of deeper layers. The treatment plan depends on the extent and grade of the tumor. Most cases are managed surgically with three-dimensional wide excision and soft tissue reconstruction. Adjuvant radiotherapy and chemotherapy is limited to those cases with poor prognosis. Very few cases of sarcomas involving the scalp have been reported in the literature. Here, we present a case of a high grade sarcoma of the scalp treated by wide local excision and reconstructed with a scalp rotation advancement flap cover.
