The patients jaw was reconstructed using fibular bone graft and musculocutaneous flap coverage. Squamous cell carcinoma (SCC) is the second most common form of skin cancer, characterized by abnormal, accelerated growth of squamous cells.

Untreated SCCs can become invasive, grow into deeper layers of skin and spread to other parts of the body.
