Fig. 7. A 61-year-old chronic alcoholic man presented with a fungating, putrefying, left temporal mass(inset) that extended into the adjacent orbit and flattened the globe, as shown on coronal CT scan. It proved to be a squamous cell carcinoma of the skin associated with cervical and mediastinal adenopathy. He underwent radical local radiotherapy, which led to regression of the local lesion.
