Abstract
This is a review of the management of squamous cell carcinoma in 2 adult patients with recessive dystrophic epidermolysis bullosa. The 2 have undergone 32 excisions of squamous cell carcinoma of the skin and soft tissue with subsequent reconstruction. Multiple strategies for wound closure have been described in this population. We highlight the usefulness of full thickness cadaveric allograft alone, to close wounds in situations when primary closure or donor site availability of autograft is limited or suboptimal.
