PATHOLOGY QUIZ CASE 1

LCDR Michael E. Moreland, MC, USNR, Naval Regional Medical Center, Portsmouth, Va

An 84-year-old woman came to our clinic with a foulsmelling lesion on her scalp. It had been growing slowly during a 15-year period, and, until recently, she had been able to hide it in her hair. There was no family history of a similar lesion. Examination disclosed a 4 x 6-cm, firm, mushroom-shaped, exophytic tumor of the sagittal part of the scalp (Fig 1).
