  • Title: A Case of Squamous Cell Carcinoma Developing Within a Red-Ink Tattoo.
    Author: Sherif S, Blakeway E, Fenn C, German A, Laws P.
    Journal: J Cutan Med Surg; 2017; 21(1):61-63. PubMed ID: 27624899.
    Abstract:
    Cutaneous reactions to tattoos are well reported and include allergic reactions, infections, and foreign body granuloma or may be a presenting sign of sarcoidosis. There have been very few reported cases of squamous cell carcinoma (SCC) arising in tattoo-treated skin. We report a case of SCC arising within a red-ink tattoo and discuss the potential the role of chronic low-grade inflammation in pathogenesis. This should serve to raise awareness of potential tattoo-related serious adverse effects.
