Abstract

We present a case of a 69 year old male with a rare Squamous Cell Carcinoma arising in the volar aspect of the distal phalanx of his left index finger, with a bizarre, never reported before, presentation. The patient was a smoker but has denied suffering any thermal burns to his finger tip. His involved finger’s intraphalygeal, and metcarpal phalyngeal joints were frozen in full extension. His physical exam, serologic, and diagnosti tests failed to demonstrate any mtastasis or the presence of HPV. A ray amputation was done and the surgical site healed uneventfully. Pathology showed moderate poorly differentiated squamous cell carcinoma. No bony involvement was noted.
