title: Squamous cell carcinoma: complication of chronic skin disorders in black patients.
abstract: Malignant tumors arising from the skin or from dermal appendages are rare in blacks. The presence of certain predisposing conditions, however, makes the development of cutaneous neoplasia a realistic possibility. A case of hidradenitis suppurativa complicated by squamous cell carcinoma is presented and the relationship between these entities is discussed.
