ABSTRACT

Photochemotherapy using psoralen and ultravioletΒ (UV)A irradiation (PUVA) is a useful treatment method for vitiligo. However, long‐term PUVA therapy may cause several adverse effects including skin cancer, especially squamous cell carcinoma (SCC). We describe a case of SCC in vitiligo lesion after long‐term PUVA therapy.

## Abstract Squamous carcinoma of the esophagus is a disease with a poor prognosis which fortunately occurs seldom in the United States. Because patients present with more advanced disease here, surgical therapy has not equaled results reported from Asia. Although, claims of equality have appeared
