description Lower extremity soft-tissue lesions are frequently encountered in clinical practice. Cellulitis, osteomyelitis, and diabetic foot ulcerations remain the top differentials.

Hereby, we report a case of a chronic heel wound which on workup was confirmed as cutaneous squamous cell carcinoma (SCC).
