Pleomorphic dermal sarcoma of the scalp with intracranial space involvement: management of a rare entity. Illustrative case
In the evaluation of an ETC, PDS should be considered. Wide en bloc excision, if achievable, should be considered the gold standard. The 5-ALA was not helpful, and a pedicle skin flap could be considered as a less invasive alternative to microsurgical reconstruction. The use of an acellular matrix implant on the contralateral exposed galea increases the rate of reconstruction success. https://thejns.org/doi/10.3171/CASE24457.
