Abstract

We report a patient with recessive dystrophic epidermolysis bullosa who developed multiple skin cancer on the upper arm. She was scheduled for arm amputation. Skin and mucosa lesions render more difficulty in anesthetic management, especially monitoring, positioning and airway instrumentation. General anesthesia based on ketamine enables us to avoid some of the problems.

Keywords

epidermolysis bullosa; malignant alteration; difficult airway; anesthetic management; ketamine
