“…Greater potential morbidity and functional loss associated with wide excision would be avoided when patients with SCC of the hand are diagnosed early. [15] In the present series, negligent delay of approximately 10.8 years resulted in lesional expansion ranging up to 12 cm. Apparently, in such advanced lesions, the digits may be involved and fall off and even the dorsum itself may be concomitantly invaded.…”

“…Chemical exposures from pesticides constitute one of the risk factors of development of SCC. [15] These pesticides may promote cancer through the immunotoxic effects, disturbing the body's normal cancer surveillance mechanisms. Organophosphates, for example, can inhibit serine esterases, critical enzymes in the immune system's T-lymphocytes, and natural killer cells.…”

Objective:To document six cases of squamous cell carcinoma (SCC) of the palm.Materials and Methods:A review of patients’ records seen from 1986 to 1998, at the Plastic Surgical Unit of the National Orthopaedic Hospital, Enugu was undertaken. The accumulated data were analyzed with the reference to those diagnosed as SCCs.Results:Four males and two females with a mean age of 61.3 years were afflicted with SCC of the palm. All but one of these patients farmed. There were long delays before presentation, and extents of the lesions reflected that.Conclusion:The Public health education is indicated in our community, if the patients are to recognize the nature of this lesion and report early.

“…17 Laser therapy has been used to treat lesions at sites such as the finger or genitalia. 3 For the treatment of invasive SCC, surgical resection with primary closure, skin graft, or flap is required according to tumor site, size, and invasiveness, 15,18 and bony amputation or disarticulation is occasionally necessary in case of bony invasion. 19,20 In our patient, initial treatment of SCCIS could have been wide excision and skin grafting, which would have necessitated circumferential skin grafting and nail ablation.…”

Background. Since skin of the dorsal hands is a known site for the development of cutaneous squamous cell carcinoma, an epidemiologic investigation was needed to determine if beachgoers apply sunscreen to the dorsal aspect of their hands as frequently as they apply it to other skin sites. Aim. The aim of the current study was to compare the use of sunscreen on the dorsal hands to other areas of the body during subtropical late spring and summer sunlight exposure at the beach. Materials and Methods. A cross-sectional survey from a convenience sample of beachgoers was designed to evaluate respondent understanding and protective measures concerning skin cancer on the dorsal hands in an environment with high natural UVR exposure. Results. A total of 214 surveys were completed and analyzed. Less than half of subjects (105, 49%) applied sunscreen to their dorsal hands. Women applied sunscreen to the dorsal hands more than men (55% women versus 40% men, P = 0.04). Higher Fitzpatrick Skin Type respondents were less likely to protect their dorsal hands from ultraviolet radiation (P = 0.001). Conclusions. More public education focused on dorsal hand protection from ultraviolet radiation damage is necessary to reduce the risk for squamous cell carcinomas of the hands.
