Postamputation diagnosis of squamous cell carcinoma in a patient with lymphedema

Chronic lymphedema is fraught with morbidity, including tissue loss. We present the case of a woman with long-standing lymphedema suffering from nonhealing ulcerations despite multiple interventions, who underwent below-knee amputation. Surgical pathology yielded a diagnosis of invasive squamous cel...

description Chronic lymphedema is fraught with morbidity, including tissue loss. We present the case of a woman with long-standing lymphedema suffering from nonhealing ulcerations despite multiple interventions, who underwent below-knee amputation. Surgical pathology yielded a diagnosis of invasive squamous cell carcinoma. We highlight the uncommon association between lymphedema and squamous cell carcinoma, and the importance of routine pathological testing with lower extremity amputations.
