Abstract

Trigeminal trophic syndrome is a rare cause of persistent secondary facial ulceration due to trigeminal nerve damage. Lesions often mimic squamous cell carcinoma but can be differentiated histologically. We present an unusual case of trigeminal trophic syndrome with both clinical and histologic features of squamous cell carcinoma.
