Squamous cell carcinoma of the skin: slowly growing, wart-like, painful, ulcerated and weeping nodules, which have been treated several times as a "subungual wart"; visible thickening of the nail root due to tumor infiltration.

Squamous cell carcinoma of the skin: carcinoma of the nail bed, which was misjudged as a fungal disease of the toenail and whose infiltrating growth had led to an almost complete onychodystrophy.

Subungual squamous cell carcinoma: The slowly growing (> 2 years) verrucous nodule, which was initially interpreted as a "wart", had grown from the subungual zone to the tip of the thumb and the entire subugual nail area during this time. In the meantime painful suppurations of the nail bed occurred repeatedly.

Squamous cell carcinoma of the skin: (detailed picture)

Squamous cell carcinoma of the skin: ulcerated, spinocellular carcinoma of the lower leg, which has long been misunderstood as an ulcer (cruris) and thus has been treated unsuccessfully. Remarkable: Only slight pain!

Squamous cell carcinoma of the skin: slowly growing, painless, broad-based nodule that has been wetting for several weeks.

Squamous cell carcinoma of the skin: slowly growing, painless, broad-based nodule that has been wetting for several weeks.

Origination on the basis of a lichen sclerosus et atrophicus known for many years. Extensive atrophic areas in the vulva area up to the perineal region.

Squamous cell carcinoma of the skin, detail enlargement: since approx. 8 months increasingly growing, approx. 1 cm large, ulcerated plaque on the inner side of the left labia majora as well as extensive, whitish, atrophic plaques in the vulva area.
