“…In our review of the literature, we found a total of 16 documented cases. 5-10 Our case report represents a de novo occurrence of a well differentiated SCC at a skin graft donor site for reconstruction of chronically infected bilateral hip wounds. It can be inferred that our patient’s chronic wounds were a factor for the development of SCC at the donor site.…”

“…Five of the previous case reports found SCC in skin graft donor sites in patients who were undergoing reconstruction with skin grafting for resected skin cancers, which indicates a potential relationship between the original cancer and the SCC arising at the donor site. [5][6][7][8][9] One case report demonstrated the implantation of SCC after using the same hollow bore needle for injection in both the area around the skin cancer and the donor site, indicating the cancer may have seeded into the donor site. 6 Other case reports describe patients who developed SCC at the skin graft donor sites who had undergone reconstruction after burns.…”

Introduction: Skin graft reconstruction is a common method of providing wound coverage. Rarely, skin grafting can be associated with the development of squamous cell carcinoma (SCC) in the graft donor site. Case Report: The patient is a 72-year old male with a 15-year history of bilateral hip wounds. He underwent a multitude of treatments previously with failed reconstructive efforts. After presenting to us, he underwent multiple debridements and eventual skin grafting. Within 4 weeks of the final skin graft, a mass developed at the skin graft donor site at the right thigh. Excisional biopsy returned a well differentiated keratinizing SCC. Discussion/Conclusion: This case demonstrates the acute presentation of SCC in a patient following a skin graft without known risk factors. The purpose of this unique case report is to highlight a very rare occurrence of SCC at a skin graft donor site.

“…[6][7][8] Carcinomas particularly squamous cell carcinoma have been reported on skin graft donor site with acute inflammatory process incited by the scarring hypothesized as its cause. 9 However, development of verrucous carcinoma, whether on muscle flap, skin graft donor, or recipient site has not been reported in recent published literature as searched in NCBI, Pubmed, Google Scholar, and Herdin using keywords "verrucous carcinoma arising on skin graft" and "verrucous carcinoma arising on muscle flap". Therefore, to date, this is the first case report of verrucous carcinoma that developed on a muscle flap and skin graft site.…”

Verrucous carcinoma is an uncommon low-grade well-differentiated malignant neoplasm that commonly arises on acral and mucosal sites. It is often both clinically and histologically misdiagnosed because of its slow growth and low cytologic atypia, respectively. We describe the case of a 74-year-old female with a papillomatous mass arising on a muscle flap and skin graft site on the left foot that had delay in diagnosis for more than 30 years. This case highlights verrucous carcinoma as consideration for both clinical and histologic differential diagnoses in chronic non-healing fungating tumor on the foot. Though non-aggressive in its course, the tumor can cause extensive local destruction of contiguous structures, hence, timely diagnosis and excision is paramount to prevent limb amputation.
