Summary:. In this study, we present a 26-year-old woman with case presentation of recessive dystrophic epidermolysis bullosa who had developed squamous cell carcinoma. The patient underwent bone marrow transplant and skin grafting with the same bone marrow donor. After excision of squamous cell carcinoma and skin grafting, no tumor was observed; thus, chemotherapy and radiation were no longer needed.
