Described is the first report of familial SUKA, occurring in two of three sisters with ectodermal dysplasia, a rare, hereditary disorder involving ectodermally derived organ systems.

Tumor excision and curettage and close postoperative follow-up are recommended, with conservative amputation reserved for tumor recurrences. If the diagnosis of SUKA is confirmed in a female, an association with ectodermal dysplasia should be sought.
