Unknown Case
Authored By: Bennett Greenspan and Archana Kantawala.
Patient: 29 year old female
History:

29 year old woman with a scalp mass.

She initially presented to her primary care physician with a small painless scalp mass 3 months prior to the imaging study.

She was given a course of antibiotics, for what was at that time thought to be a sebaceous cyst.

She was subsequently referred to a surgeon due to increasing size of the mass.

An outside hospital biopsy of the lesion was read as sarcoma and she was transferred to our institute for further care.

 She also had a history of hypertension.
