Epidermolysis bullosa (EB) is a group of inherited blistering disorders that are divided into three categories based on the plane of cleavage of the blister, mode of inheritance, and the presence or absence of scars. Squamous cell carcinoma developing in epidermolyis bullosa is rare and presents a therapeutic dilemma. The authors report a case of congenital epidermolysis bullosa with locally advanced squamous cell carcinoma.

Key Words: carcinoma • neoplasm • squamous • epidermolysis • lower extremity • malignant
