title: [Squamous cell carcinoma in Dupuytren's disease--a case report].
abstract: Squamous cell carcinoma in the palm is an extremely rare entity. In the following case report we describe the occurrence of a squamous cell carcinoma in the presence of Dupuytren's disease. A 49-year-old man was operated on the right hand for ulcerating Dupuytren's disease. A squamous cell carcinoma was diagnosed by performing obtaining a fast section intraoperatively. The patient had an invasive, highly differentiated keratinizing squamous cell carcinoma. The lesion was resected together with the Dupuytren lesion and the defect covered with a full-thickness graft. Postoperatively the patient was irradiated. He is free of recurrence for three years now. To our knowledge, this is the first published report of a squamous cell carcinoma in the presence of Dupuytren's disease.
