CASE REPORT

We describe the case of a 63 year-old man affected by chronic skin ulcers of the left leg developed on the site of a paraffinoma. Paraffinoma was the product of an oily injection at the age of 19 in order to produce an artefacatual arthritis and avoid the military service at that time. In the last three years warty, erythematous, painless papillomatous lesions developed on the border of the leg ulcers (fig.1), with an histologic picture consistent with a diagnosis of low grade squamous cell carcinoma (fig.2, 3, 4). Staging showed nodular lesions of the right lung consisting of atypical squamous cells on fine needle biopsy. The patient refused any further investigation and was lost from follow up.
