Abstract:
We report 3 cases of squamous cell carcinoma arising respectively after 30, 6 and 19 years of spontaneous evolution of cutaneous discoid lupus erythematosus. In each case the histopathologic examination confirmed the diagnosis of cutaneous lupus discoid and squamous cell carcinoma. As phagedenic ulcer which is the main preneoplastic dermatosis, discoid lupus erythematosis must be considered. The long duration before the cancerisation allows a correct treatment of the disease to prevent the transformation.

It is primarily caused by exposure to ultraviolet (UV) radiation from the sun or artificial sources like tanning beds. Skin cancer is the most common type of cancer worldwide, and its incidence continues to rise.

Skin is the first line of defense and encounters a variety of microbes. Some pathogenic strains are often the cause of a broad range of infections of the skin and other body systems. These conditions can affect people of all ages and may have different causes, including genetic factors, infections, autoimmune reactions, environmental factors, and lifestyle choices.
