Cutaneous squamous cell carcinoma (cSCC) is a common skin malignancy, which, in its advanced stages, may involve regional lymph nodes and osseous structures, resulting in poor prognosis. Massive tumor infiltration of the sacrum and pelvic bones is rare and typically associated with limited treatment options and unfavorable outcomes. We present the case of a 59-year-old male with advanced cSCC involving the gluteal region, sacrum, pelvic lymph nodes, and bones. As part of a personalized treatment approach, the patient received a combination of cemiplimab, a PD-1 checkpoint inhibitor, and denosumab for bone protection. Despite the aggressive nature and anatomical complexity of the disease, the patient demonstrated a marked and durable clinical response, with radiographic evidence of partial metabolic regression on PET/CT (SUVmax reduction from 9.87 to 6.37), resolution of sacral pain, and full recovery of ambulatory function. No serious immune-related toxicities were observed. This case illustrates the potential of integrating immunotherapy with supportive bone-targeted therapy to achieve meaningful disease control in rare presentations of bone-invasive cSCC.
皮肤鳞状细胞癌(cSCC)是一种常见的皮肤恶性肿瘤,在其晚期可能会累及区域淋巴结和骨质结构,导致预后不良。骶骨和骨盆骨的大量肿瘤浸润很少见,通常与有限的治疗选择和不良预后相关。我们报告了一例59岁男性,患有晚期cSCC,累及臀区、骶骨、盆腔淋巴结和骨骼。作为个性化治疗方法的一部分,该患者接受了PD-1检查点抑制剂西米普利单抗和地诺单抗联合治疗以保护骨骼。尽管该疾病具有侵袭性且解剖结构复杂,但患者表现出显著且持久的临床反应,PET/CT显示有部分代谢消退的影像学证据(SUVmax从9.87降至6.37),骶骨疼痛缓解,行走功能完全恢复。未观察到严重的免疫相关毒性。该病例说明了将免疫疗法与支持性骨靶向治疗相结合,在罕见的骨侵袭性cSCC病例中实现有意义的疾病控制的潜力。
