Cutaneous squamous cell carcinoma (cSCC) is the second most common non‐melanoma skin cancer after basal cell carcinoma, characterized by the malignant proliferation of epidermal keratinocytes. We report a case of an inoperable cSCC of the scalp extending into the sagittal sinus, now responding well to the monoclonal antibody Cemiplimab.
