Article Synopsis
- Squamous cell carcinoma (SCC) is a common type of skin cancer that can affect the nails, exemplified by a 60-year-old male patient who developed a painful ulcer in his foot due to a prior misdiagnosis of a fungal infection.
- Dermatological examination showed characteristics of SCC, and although the initial biopsy indicated keratoacanthoma, it did not reveal malignant features, leading to the eventual identification of moderately differentiated SCC in a follow-up biopsy.
- Successful surgical resection was performed to treat the SCC, highlighting the importance of accurate pathology understanding and biopsy techniques in preventing progression of this form of skin cancer.
