Epidermolysis bullosa are heterogeneous group of rare diseases characterized by exacerbated skin and mucosal fragility and blister formation after minor trauma. This family of genodermatosis exposes patients to several complications, Cutaneous SCC being most severe. We present a case of 19 years old patient of Squamous cell carcinoma in Epidermolysis bullosa of right foot treated with surgery and radiotherapy.
