Squamous Cell Carcinoma of the Keratoacanthoma type exhibits histopathological features of Keratoacanthoma but presents with malignant lesions.

Here, we describe the management of a well-differentiated squamous cell carcinoma on the dorsal aspect of the thumb using a kite flap.

This case report illustrates a rare diagnosis potentially encountered by hand surgeons and the possible use of a kite flap in a non-traumatic context.

At a 10-month follow-up, the patient showed favorable healing with stable, sensitive, and full coverage, and the satisfaction index was high.
