Squamous Cell Carcinoma invades periosteum of scalp

For diagnosis coding, if a person has a squamous cell carcinoma on the scalp, and the report states it has invaded the periosteum of the scalp, would it be correct to say it has spread to bone and code carcinoma of both skin and bone?

Thank you.
