A systematic and holistic approach leads to surgery followed with chemotherapy and palliative radiation in a locally advanced case of squamous cell carcinoma of gluteal region

Abstract

Introduction: Squamous Cell Carcinoma of gluteal region is not more oftenly seen, requires a conventional treatment to remove the magnitude of the disease with combined modalities of treatment. Presentation of the case: Here a case of 58-year-old male from Bihar state (India) presented with history of large ulcer proliferative lesion in the gluteal region from last 8 months, which was progressively increasing in size due to inadequate treatment. Discussion: Biopsy has been retrieved. Due to large volume of disease, treatment started with chemotherapy followed by palliative radiation then considered for surgery. We observed regression of magnitude of disease on subsequent follow up and improvement in the quality of life. Conclusion: Clinicians must know the possibility of tumor of the gluteal region especially in the remote areas and they must be treated conventionally with combined modalities to improve the overall survival. *Correspondence to: Shwetima Chaudhary, Department of Radiotherapy, King George’s Medical University, Lucknow UP, India, E-mail: swm222@gmail.com
