Basal cell carcinoma associated with chronic ulceration

Ref.: Basal cell carcinoma associated with chronic ulceration
From: Scollard D., Carville, USA

Dear Salvatore,

Regarding Dr. Al Aboud’s query about carcinomas in leprosy, I reviewed this several years ago and found what he had indicated – reports of squamous cell carcinoma associated with chronic ulceration, but no reports associating any other carcinoma with leprosy. I have no knowledge of any carcinomas specifically associated with the peripheral neuropathy of leprosy.
