Fortunately, wound complications are rare, and in this case report, we describe the development of a well-differentiated squamous cell carcinoma, keratoacanthomatous type, within the surgical incision of a total knee arthroplasty several months after the index procedure.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
