Good Luck and good you have it diagnosed correctly - my Dad had a skin tag removed from his back which has turned out to be pleomorphic sarcoma. Make sure you request chest x Ray/CT to ensure no spread. We were told these were very rare too and not a lot of research on treatment options (I’m sure yours will be surgically removed if on scalp but Dads is now in lungs).

Thank you. I will be asking if the scalp’s bone density acts as a barrier for the brain. Need to know how the limited depth of the soft tissue on the scalp impacts the treatment plan, compared to locations on limbs or torso.
