Abstract
- Amputation of the lower extremities followed by the use of an artificial leg is very common. However, malignancy arising in an amputation stump is an extremely rare event. In this report, we describe a case of squamous cell carcinoma arising in the amputation stump of a 56-year-old Korean man. To the best of our knowledge, similar cases have not been previously reported in Korea.
