Abstract
We report a case of 53year old female with history of acute myelogenous leukemia, for which she underwent allogeneic peripheral blood stem cell transplant; her course was complicated by chronic graft versus host disease. Seven years later she presents with squamous cell carcinoma of the skin which metastasize to her heart. Here, in this case we tend to highlight the aggressive nature of the squamous cell carcinoma in an immunocompromised individual.
