Imtiaz Wani. Oman Med J. 2009 Jan.

Abstract

Squamous cell carcinoma of the foot is rare. A case report of occurrence of metastatic squamous carcinoma of the foot with resemblance to verrucous type in an elderly female is presented. This metastatic lesion developed four years after excision of primary squamous cell carcinoma from the left thigh. The patient presented with a painful, exophytic, ulcerated mass on the foot of four months' duration. Fine-needle aspiration and edge biopsy documented this lesion as squamous cell carcinoma.
