Five cases of Squamous Cell Carcinoma experienced recently

Five patients in whom squamous cell carcinoma (SCC) of the lower extremity had been diagnosed were treated and followed up in the last 11/2 years. In two patients SCC was found in osteomyelitic foci, one in a crual ulcer, two in chronic ulcer induced from the common squamous cell carcinoma. Above-knee amputations, a partial resection, a below-knee amputation and a syme amputation were performed respectively. In one patient metastasis of the regional lymph nodes was found in four months after operation.
