| description | Saree cancer is a type of skin cancer that occurs along the waistline of Indian women wearing the traditional costume of ′saree′. The incidence of malignancy in scar tissues is 0.1-2.5%. Highly hypopigmented and thickened scars are more likely to progress into malignant lesions. Khanolkar and Suryabai described a new type of skin cancer - ′dhoti cancer′ in 1945. Persistent and long term use results in chronic friction/irritation in the region of waist which in term leads to waist-dermatosis. |
