Hereditary epidermolysis bullosa (EB) is a rare genodermatosis characterized by skin fragility and blistering of the skin and mucous membranes in reaction to minimal traumas. The development of cutaneous squamous cell carcinomas (cSCCs) is one of the most common medical complications in junctional and dystrophic forms of the disease. Complete surgical excision of cutaneous tumors represents the gold standard of treatment. However, not only recognition of cSCCs can be challenging in the affected skin but also wound closure after surgical excision poses a great therapeutic challenge in EB patients. The aim of our study was to analyze the postoperative outcomes of such patients in order to have a better knowledge of the main critical issues in their surgical management and oncological follow‐up.
