This week's case discussion from Dr Terry Harvey features a lesion identified on the left lateral leg of a 95-year-old patient with significant medical comorbidities and peripheral muscle wasting.
What do you suspect it is, and what would you do next?
The lesion was sampled with a 3x3mm shave biopsy, which revealed intraepidermal carcinoma. What is the rate of progression of intraepidermal carcinoma to invasive SCC per year? What would you recommend to this patient for management?
