Abstract
Since 1981, 14 patients with kidney transplants have been treated for recurrent squamous cell carcinoma of the skin of the dorsum of the hand by total skin resection. Frozen sections of the base of the tumor sites were carried out and the denuded area was resurfaced with split-skin grafts harvested from non-sun-exposed areas on the buttock and upper thigh. During follow-up examinations, no recurrence was seen in the grafted areas. The appearance was good and hand function was satisfactory.
