Squamous cell carcinoma is one of the most common carcinoma involving the skin and squamous epithelium from other sites. They are of varying histological presentation as well as clinical features. Squamous cell carcinoma occurs in a wide range of age group involving both sexes.

Amyloidosis is an extracellular deposition of proteinaceous material which when occurring in skin as a primary lesion is called as lichen amyloidosis. The lichen amyloidosis can have varying forms of clinical presentation. Sometimes amyloidosis is associated with Basal Cell Carcinoma, Bowen’s disease and some of cutaneous tumours.

A 4 year analysis of pattern of squamous cell carcinoma as well as Lichen amyloidosis had been analysed and found out that there was one case associated with lichen amyloidosis in a setting of Squamous cell carcinoma.
