Abstract :

Basal cell carcinoma and squamous cell carcinoma (SCC) are two important malignancies belonging to the non-melanoma group of cancers. SCC usually occurs on photo exposed sites like face and is common in advancing age individuals. Cumulative sun exposure is an important risk factor. Synchronous SCC of face is rare presentation. Surgical management becomes a challenge in elderly due to anaesthesia related complications and other co morbidities. Our patient had no other comorbidity hence we opted for surgical correction of such giant tumour.
