| Abstrakt: | Background: Squamous-cell skin cancer is the most frequent tumor in the hand. It occurs on sun-damaged skin, especially in lightskinned individuals with a long history of chronic sun exposure. Case Report: We describe a case of bilateral hand squamous-cell carcinoma in a elderly patient affected with non-Hodgkin's lymphoma, who underwent several non-successful surgical treatment, radiotherapy and at the least, amputation of right hand for rapid clinical evolution after radiotreatment. Available literature on the subject has been reviewed. Results: In our case, after several non-successful treatment, elective amputation at the distal third of forearm was performed. We reviewed 56 items including books, original articles, reviews, cases report. Conclusions: Current evidence on treatment of hand squamouscells carcinoma is to perform a first radical surgical treatment in order to avoid recurrence/metastasis and to achieve a safer level of amputation thus increasing the surface area of healthy tissue available for eventually subsequent reconstruction/prosthesization. |
