title: [Development of squamous cell carcinoma in chronic anal eczema and therapeutic consequences].
abstract: We report two cases of chronic anal eczema. In one case a squamous cell carcinoma developed at the site of inflammation. This carcinoma was treated by wide local excision. The second case was treated in the same way for prophylactic reasons. These two cases demonstrate the importance of biopsies and surgical intervention when dealing with a therapy-resistant chronic anal eczema.
