Squamous cell carcinoma (SCC) of the foot is a rare sequelae of chronic ulceration secondary to leprosy neuropathy. Most of the tumours are relatively slow growing and tend to metastasize late. Survival after local excision is generally good. In this series of 17 patients so far there have been 3 deaths attributable to SCC, all of whom presented with locally advanced tumours and lymph node metastasis.
