Skin Cancer

Skin cancer is a type of cancer that occurs when there is an abnormal growth of skin cells, usually triggered by damage to the DNA within the skin cells. 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.
Basal Cell Carcinoma (BCC): BCC is the most common type of skin cancer, accounting for about 80% of cases. It typically develops in...

Summary

Squamous cell carcinoma (SCC) of the lateral nail fold is a rare malignancy. Early diagnosis and treatment, such as local excision, are crucial for favorable outcomes and preventing metastasis.

Area of Science:

  • Dermatology
  • Oncology

Background:

  • Squamous cell carcinoma (SCC) of the lateral nail fold is a rare malignancy.
  • Potential risk factors include trauma, radiation, arsenic exposure, dyskeratosis, and HPV infections.
  • This tumor typically exhibits slow growth and low metastatic potential.

Observation:

  • A case of SCC of the lateral nail fold in a 66-year-old male is presented.
  • The patient was treated with local excision.
  • The literature was reviewed for epidemiological, diagnostic, and therapeutic characteristics.

Findings:

  • Local excision resulted in acceptable functional and cosmetic outcomes.
  • Early diagnosis via biopsy is recommended, particularly in patients with predisposing factors.
  • Prompt treatment can prevent tumor metastasis.

Implications:

  • Highlights the importance of considering SCC in the differential diagnosis of lateral nail fold lesions.
  • Emphasizes the effectiveness of local excision for early-stage lateral nail fold SCC.
  • Underscores the need for vigilance in patients with risk factors for this rare cancer.
