“…Over a period of 20 years, we found 19 cases of skin cancer, including six EC (0.00020% of consultations). At the Department of Dermatology, Dakar, Senegal, Dieng et al 2 . listed 80 cases of EC (0.09% of consultations) over a 20‐year period.…”

“…The very small number in our series reflects the low frequency of carcinoma in black Africans, but may also be partly the result of the low level of medical cover offered to the population, and the fact that patients presenting with a skin tumor are referred directly to the surgical department, giving rise to recruitment bias. Phagedenic ulcers, for example, are seen and followed up in the surgical department, although, according to Dieng et al ., 2 they make up 80% of the preneoplastic lesions in EC. Larger series published in Africa have involved cases collected in a department of pathologic anatomy 3 or from a cancer registry 4,5…”

“…In addition, black skin has a large predominance of squamous cell carcinoma (EC) (or "squamous cell carcinoma") compared with basal cell carcinoma (BCC) [4]. Cutaneous squamous cell carcinoma (SCC) is a malignant tumor developed from epidermal keratinocytes [5]. They represent a real public health problem because of their morbidity and mortality.…”

Objective: To identify the determinants of secondary limb amputation in advanced squamous cell carcinoma. Material and Methods: This was a retrospective study carried out in the Orthopedic Traumatology Department of the Bouaké University Hospital in Côte d'Ivoire from January 2013 to December 2016. It involved ten patients with locally advanced skin squamous cell carcinoma, confirmed by histology and having amputated limbs. The parameters studied were: demographic data (gender, age), socio-economic conditions (occupation, place of residence), the risk factors involved, the use of topical self-medication and the use of traditional medicine, antecedents and comorbidities factors, lifestyle, clinical aspects (seat, size), extension assessment (X-ray), anatomo-pathological examination data, duration of evolution of squamous cell carcinoma, the function of the affected limb, the treatment performed, the evolutionary modalities and the equipment. Results: Between 2013 and 2016, ten patients underwent either upper or lower limb amputations following locally advanced squamous cell carcinoma. The average age was 34.1 years (19 -64 years). There were 7 men (70%) and 3 women (30%) and all our patients were black (sub-Saharan Africa). The majority of our patients were farmers (70%). The risk factors for squamous cell carcinoma were neglected chronic wounds. All our patients recognized during the interrogation a large use of the topicals of traditional medicine for the treatment of the initial cutaneous lesions. In terms of lifestyle, five (50%) were smokers and alcoholics. The mean time to progression of squamous cell carcinoma was 5.9 years. Lesions were localized preferentially to the pelvic limbs six (60%) cases and four (40%) to the limbs chest. The lesion was diagnosed late in all our patients. The size of the tumor in all our patients was greater than 5 cm and had a deep invasion (nerves, vessels and bone). The proximal ipsilateral ganglionic How to cite this paper:
