Squamous cell carcinoma is a cancer that is rare in the hand. The extirpation of this cancer can leave an important cutaneous
defect in many cases. The cutaneous covering at the back of the hand is a challenge for any surgeon, especially when there are
large skin defects with exposure of tendons, bones or neurovascular structures. Here, we describe a clinical case where an adipofascial turnover forearm flap and full thickness skin graft were performed, after the extensive extirpation of the well-differentiated
squamous cell carcinoma has been made.
