Picture of Squamous Cell Carcinoma (Calf)
Squamous cell carcinoma in situ: Also called Bowen’s disease, squamous cell carcinoma in situ is a pre-invasive squamous cell skin cancer. This means the growth is confined to the outer layer of skin. It should be removed before it spreads and develops into a life-threatening form of skin cancer. SCC is caused by exposure to ultraviolet light.
