    spread of cancer cells to scalp tissues from another tumor

    Scalp metastases refer to the spread of cancer cells from a primary tumor located elsewhere in the body to the skin and tissues of the scalp. This condition is relatively rare and can present as nodules or lesions on the scalp, often indicating an advanced stage of cancer. For medical professionals, recognizing scalp metastases is crucial for staging the disease and determining the appropriate treatment plan.
