A 56-year old man presented with a 9-month history of an erythematous, verrucous, keratotic lesion on his left hand. The clinical atypical lesion was excised and histopathological examination showed a well-differentiated squamous cell carcinoma. HPV-testing demonstrated positivity for HPV-16. UV-damage, trauma and smoking are possible explanations for the development of a squamous cell carcinoma. Further research examining the influence of HPV-infection and the development of cutaneous squamous cell carcinoma is required.
