Abstract
We present the case of a patient who developed a possible implantation metastatic squamous cell carcinoma (SCC) at a donor site 2 months following split-thickness skin graft (STSG) harvesting. This case highlights implantation of malignant cells from a contaminated hollow needle as a mechanism of spread to skin graft donor sites and offers an important learning point in the practice of local anaesthetic cutaneous cancer surgery.Entities:
