Description

<p>A 58-year-old Japanese woman presented with a one-year history of onychomadesis and a mass over her whole left ring finger. She had worked as a filling station attendant for 30 years and had not worn rubber gloves at work. She had repeatedly developed erythema and blisters around the digit. Physical examination revealed erythema with desquamation on her thumb, erythematous plaques on her middle finger, and onychomadesis and edematous erythema with nodules on her ring finger. Examination of specimen biopsy of the left ring finger indicated squamous cell carcinoma, which had dysplastic keratinocytes with abundant amounts of eosinophilic cytoplasm and pleomorphic hyperchromatic nuclei. Given there was no evidence of actinic keratosis or history of burn injury or chemical exposure, we estimated that the SCC was caused by chronic inflammation due to contact with petrol. Our case is important to note as it describes atypical onset of SCC due to exposure to chemicals such as petrol.[Skin Cancer (Japan) 2016 ; 31 : 268-271]</p>
