“…The scalp had been described as a common location for distant metastases. [20] Distant metastasis was seen in both RCC, male breast and lymphomas. Scalp CM are rare and have been reported in <2 % cases and usually recognized in lung (23.5%),colorectal (11.7%), liver and breast (7.84% each).In our study,28.3 % of cases had metastases to head and neck area.…”

“…SFT cells stain for CD34, and CD99 and variably stain for epithelial membrane antigen, bcl-2, and smooth muscle actin and limited reactivity to S-100 [13]. The diagnosis of MSFT versus SFT is based on mitotic activity (4 mitoses per 10 high powered field), [5 cm size of lesion, high degree of cellularity, presence of immature and pleomorphic tumor cells and foci of hemorrhage and necrosis [14].…”

“…In one series by Chiu et al [6] studying a total of 398 Taiwanese patients with malignant scalp tumors, BCC accounted for 41.2% and SCC for 16.6% of scalp tumors. In this series, melanoma accounted for only 2% of malignant scalp tumors, whereas metastatic malignancies were the third most common malignancy, representing 12.8% of the total.…”

“…In addition, as a result of the high vascularity of this anatomic region, the scalp is a very common location for the appearance of cutaneous metastases of a wide variety of primary internal malignancies. [6] It is always important to include these in the differential of any dermal nodule appearing on the scalp.…”
