Wide local excision or amputation remains the first treatment of choice. We present here a case of squamous cell carcinoma of thumb in a 39 year old female. In view of aggressive spread to regional nodes we feel the need for thorough evaluation of regional lymph nodes before&#13;
surgery and consider adjuvant concomitant chemoradiation and need to include infraclavicular__ampersandsignnbsp; (deltopectoral) lymph nodes in treatment volume in view of direct drainage of lymphatics from thumb malignancy.&#13;
