Skin cancers occur rarely in the scalp. especially,direct intracranial invasion by a squamous cell carcinoma of the scalp is extremely rare. we presented a case of a 76-year-old woman who developed a large destructive squamous cell carcinoma with extension through the calvarium and the central nervous system. there was not distant metastasis,wide-surgical excision of the lesion and covering defect was performed by neurosurgery and plastic surgery departments. aggressive scalp carcinomas may develop the skull invasion,dural infiltration and brain involvement as in our case. early diagnosis and surgery are mandatory to regain best possible recovery for scalp malignant tumors.
