Hidradenitis suppurativa (HS) is a recurrent suppurative disease characterized by inflammatory nodules, abscesses, fistulas, and scarring. We report a case of squamous cell carcinoma arising in chronic HS. In our case the asymptomatic lesion was neglected by the patient for a long time, allowing the occurrence of advanced disease before treatment was sought, which resulted in a terminal outcome. In the context of HS, a painful lump or ulcer could easily be mistaken for an inflammatory lesion, and therefore a low threshold for biopsy is warranted.
化脓性汗腺炎（HS）是一种复发性化脓性疾病，其特征为炎性结节、脓肿、瘘管和瘢痕形成。我们报告一例慢性HS患者发生鳞状细胞癌的病例。在我们的病例中，患者长期忽视了无症状病变，导致在寻求治疗之前疾病进展至晚期，最终导致了死亡结局。在HS的背景下，疼痛性肿块或溃疡很容易被误诊为炎性病变，因此活检的阈值应较低。
