Cutaneous squamous cell carcinoma at sites other than the nasal planum arises from the squamous cells of the skin. Like nasal planum SCC, it can be associated with ultraviolet radiation exposure in lightly pigmented cats, particularly affecting the ear tips and eyelids. The tumour is locally invasive but tends to have a low rate of distant metastasis when found in the skin. Early diagnosis and complete surgical removal offer the best outcomes, and most cats with fully excised cutaneous SCC do very well. Radiation therapy and electrochemotherapy are effective alternatives or adjuncts when surgery alone cannot achieve clean margins. With timely diagnosis and complete removal, the prognosis for cutaneous SCC at these sites is generally favourable.
