Abstract

The foot could be affected by skin lesions with varying degrees of malignancy. In this paper we report a case of squamous cell cancer or squamous cell carcinoma. It is a type of skin cancer that has a high percentage of incidence and thus can recognize, diagnose and treat it if necessary or refer you to other specialists. We report the case of a woman affected by squamous cell carcinoma in the right fifth toe, which was treated with amputation of fifth toe. To obtain a differential diagnosis we decided to perform a previous biopsy using the technique of Punch and after surgery the specimen were sent to pathologist for testing and confirming the diagnosis and reports the prognosis.
