CASE 19: Coccyx (tailbone) skin cancer (SCC)
- Hits: 228
- 52-year-old male patient
- The patient had previously undergone two surgeries and received medical treatment for skin cancer in the coccyx area, but presented to us due to a recurrence.
- After the tumor was removed along with the coccyx with clean margins, the resulting gap was closed with a local rotation flap.
- The patient, who experienced no problems during or after the surgery, was discharged under close monitoring.
Before the surgery: The MRI shows tumor tissue with irregular borders affecting the tailbone and extending to the skin.
During the operation: The image shows the space created after tumor tissue removal and the preparation of a local flap.
Post-surgery: The wound has been closed and the X-ray shows the removal of the coccyx.
