cutaneous squamous cell carcinoma - (pronounced) (kyoo-TAY-nee-us SKWAY-mus sel KAR-sih-NOH-muh) Cancer that starts in cells that make up the epidermis (outer layer of skin). It usually occurs on areas of skin that have been exposed to natural sunlight or artificial sunlight (e. g. from tanning beds) for a long time. These areas include the face, ears, lower lip, neck, arms, or backs of hands. It can also appear on areas of skin that have been burned or exposed to chemicals or radiation. Squamous cell carcinoma of the skin may appear as a firm red bump, scaly red patch, open sore, or wart that may crust or bleed easily. Squamous cell carcinomas of the skin that have not spread can usually be cured. Also called squamous cell carcinoma of the skin and squamous cell carcinoma of the skin
