“…Similarly, our patient, a tailor, regularly wore ill-fitting shoes and practiced inadequate hygiene, particularly in cleaning the interdigital spaces. SCC in such cases often remains unrecognized in its early stages, being commonly mistaken for simple fungal intertrigo despite multiple medical consultations [ 4 ]. To ensure accurate diagnosis, biopsies should be extensive and deep [ 1 ], as illustrated in our case where two samples were taken.…”

“…The preferred treatment method is surgery, involving wide excision [ 1 ]. In some cases, this may include the amputation of the two toes adjacent to the affected area [ 1 , 4 ]. Lymph node dissection is advised only in the presence of palpable satellite lymph nodes [ 8 ].…”

“…The occurrence of SCC in the interdigital spaces is particularly rare [ 3 ]. Interdigital SCC may develop from the progression of prior traumatic or inflammatory lesions, including but not limited to unstable burn scars or chronic ulcers [ 3 , 4 ]. In this report, we present a case of interdigital SCC arising in a patient with chronic intertrigo.…”

Squamous cell carcinoma (SCC), also known as epidermoid carcinoma, represents the most common malignant tumor affecting the nails. A 60-year-old tailor with no significant medical history presented with a three-year history of macerated skin between the toes, previously treated with a topical antifungal. Dermatological examination revealed a verrucous, infected ulceration with infiltrated and hyperkeratotic edges, characterized by a whitish, fissured base. This lesion in the fourth interdigital space and extended onto the dorsal surface of the foot without any other associated symptoms. The clinical diagnosis identified it as a neoplastic ulceration. An initial biopsy found keratoacanthoma but showed no malignant features. However, follow-up biopsy at our department revealed moderately differentiated SCC. Surgical resection was successful in treating our patient. Diagnostic errors due to insufficient understanding of the pathology and inadequate biopsy methods contribute to the progression of SCC. Surgery is the main treatment for such malignant tumors.

“…Intertoe space SCCs, unrelated to immunosuppressive or anti-TNF- α treatment and to HPV infection, have been previously described in only two publications. They were both from France: a case report of a 66-year-old woman [ 12 ] and a case series of 22 intertoe SCCs in 19 patients [ 13 ]. These two articles considered continual maceration as the key aetiological feature for the lesion.…”

The use of tumor necrosis factor-α (TNF-α) inhibitors in the treatment of various inflammatory conditions has altered the field of medical therapeutics. Squamous cell carcinoma is the second most common cancer of the skin, usually affecting sun-exposed areas of the body. We present here the case of a 75-year-old woman with rheumatoid arthritis, who developed an intertoe squamous cell carcinoma (SCC) of the right foot. According to her history, she received etanercept and methotrexate for 5 years for rheumatoid arthritis. The rare localization of this cancer could suggest a possible linkage of the malignancy to the chronic intake of anti-TNF-α treatment. This is the first reported case of an interdigital SCC developed under the use of an anti-TNF-α agent.
