Abstract

Skin squamous cell carcinoma is the second most common non-melanoma skin tumor worldwide. Most skin squamous cell carcinoma patients have underlying diseases. Here, we report a 56 year-old patient diagnosed with skin squamous cell carcinoma and with a 30 year course of neglected lupus vulgaris, which was very rare. In this case, we adopted a treatment strategy involving a small wound: superficial resection combined with photodynamic therapy with a satisfied result.
