Abstract
Locally advanced cutaneous squamous cell carcinoma can erode into blood vessels, leading to vascular blowout, requiring emergent surgical intervention. We describe a first case of this disease complication which was effectively managed with endovascular stenting as a bridge to effective systemic and regional therapy. We discuss the efficacy of this staged approach which is novel and timely in a clinical environment of increasingly effective systemic therapies.
