Abstract
Two patients are reported in whom a squamous cell carcinoma arose in chronic lymphoedematous skin on the lower legs. Although lymphangiosarcoma is a well recognized complication of chronic lymphoedema, squamous cell carcinoma has only been reported on seven previous occasions. The pathogenesis of malignant tumours in chronic lymphoedema is discussed.Entities:
