Squamous cell carcinoma presenting as multiple discharging sinuses on the chin

Summary

Squamous cell carcinoma (SCC) usually presents as a raised, firm, pink to skin-coloured keratotic papule, plaque or ulcer, arising on sun-exposed skin. We report an unusual case of a 65-year-old male patient who presented with a 1-year history of multiple discharging sinuses on his chin, which on investigation was found to be an SCC. A malignancy should be considered in the differential diagnoses of patients presenting with multiple discharging sinuses on the chin. We discuss other possible diagnoses for sinuses presenting on the face.
