lobomicose e carcinoma espinocelular

Abstract

The occurence of squamous cell carcinoma on long-lasting ulcers is classic. Malignant transformation may occur on burn scars and chronic ulcers of varying etiology, including infectious agents. Transformation of old lobomycosis lesion scars into squamous cell carcinoma has been rarely reported. Careful and long-term follow- up of such patients is important to avoid carcinomatous transformation. © 2013 by Anais Brasileiros de Dermatologia.
