Abstract

A case of a burn scar on the back of the left hand complicated by squamous cell carcinoma admitted to our hospital is presented. [Methods] The patient was treated with an enlarged excision of the tumour tissue and a right anterolateral femoral flap graft. [Results] The patient's wound healed well without infection, oozing or dehiscence. At six months follow-up, there was no local recurrence or distant metastasis of scar carcinoma. [Conclusion] Scar carcinoma is mostly a chronic refractory ulcer that is easily overlooked by clinicians, so early detection, early diagnosis and early surgery are needed.
