We report a 26 year old female patient of Kindler syndrome associated with squamous cell carcinoma of the leg. This syndrome is a rare inherited disorder characterized by trauma induced acral blistering, photosensitivity, poikiloderma and cutaneous atrophy. Occurrence of overt cutaneous malignancy on glabrous skin in this syndrome has not been reported before.
