title: Primary high-grade squamous cell carcinoma of the foot: a case report.
abstract: Squamous cell carcinoma is the second most common type of skin cancer and may present in the distal extremities including the foot. We present a case in which a primary squamous cell carcinoma of the foot, which presented as a granulomatous ulcerating lesion, was diagnosed and successfully treated with a radical resection. Our case shows an atypical presentation of a very common malignancy and, it is therefore essential for health-care providers to consider malignancy in all suspicious lesions of the foot.
