Abstract :
Squamous cell carcinoma (SCC) of the skin is one of the most
common non melanoma skin cancers (NMSC), along with
basal cell carcinoma (BCC). Besides ultraviolet radiation,
exposure to industrial agents, ionizing radiation, and areas of
chronic inflammation are associated with the development of
SCC. Squamous cell carcinoma may also be associated with
foreign bodies. We report a rare case of cutaneous SCC in an
elderly Kashmiri female, which was developed subsequent to a
subcutaneous non metallic foreign body and was successfully
excised with negative margins and transposition flap closure.
