Squamous cell carcinoma complicating epidermolysis bullosa in a 6-year-old girl.
Recessive dystrophic epidermolysis bullosa (RDEB) is a rare form of epidermolysis bullosa (EB) that presents with generalized blistering since birth. Squamous cell carcinoma (SCC) is the most common cutaneous malignancy seen in RDEB, starting from second decade onwards. We report a case of SCC complicating RDEB in a 6-year-old girl.
