Abstract

Mohs micrographic surgery is the best therapeutical option for hand squamous cell carcinoma without bone involvement; however, the reconstruction of the surgical defect could be very difficult if the tumour is located in the distal phalanx of a finger. We present the case of a patient with a squamous cell carcinoma of the distal phalanx of a finger, which was treated with Mohs micrographic surgery, and its surgical defect was successfully resolved by secondary-intention healing using hydrocolloid dressings.
