[Cutaneous squamous cell carcinomas in EBDR: how can they be detected?]

The occurrence of cutaneous squamous cell carcinoma is a frequent and potentially serious complication in people with recessive dystrophic epidermolysis bullosa and junctional epidermolysis bullosa with chronic leg sores. Early diagnosis of early-stage carcinomas enables limited surgical excision and rapid healing without sequelae. Screening during skin care of patients at risk is therefore of major interest, and any atypical lesion should be shown to a doctor specializing in the disease and biopsied at the slightest doubt, preferably in an expert center for the disease.
