Abstract

We report a case of localized squamous cell carcinoma arising in the ulceration at the site of a below-knee amputation in a patient with chronic lymphocytic leukemia on treatment with ibrutinib. The patient underwent local excision of the skin and soft tissue with histopathology showing a small focus of well-differentiated squamous cell carcinoma in the specimen. This case highlights the importance of clinical evaluation and histopathological review for underlying malignancy in the setting of amputation stump ulceration.
