The right answer is C44.701.

C44 is the code that stands for the malignant skin disorders.

Skin squamous cell carcinoma (SCC), also known as squamous cell carcinoma, is the second most common skin cancer after basal cell carcinoma.

This type of skin cancer develops from the cells of the spinous layer of the epidermis, which is the superficial layer of the skin.
