Abstract

ABSTRACT
Squamous cell carcinoma is a rare but well documented complication of chronic osteomyelitis. With the
advent of antibiotics, better health care delivery to the people and improving socioeconomic conditions, the
incidence of squamous cell carcinoma arising as a late complication of acute haematogenous osteomyelitis
has become increasingly less. Occasional difficulty in the differential diagnosis of a pseudoepitheliomatous
hyperplasia and well differentiated squamous cell carcinoma can be troublesome. These two cases are
presented to remind the clinician of this now increasingly rare complication of chronic osteomyelitis and
the occasional diagnostic dilemma involved in its histopathological diagnosis.

Key Words: Squamous Cell Carcinoma, Chronic Osteomyelitis.
