The Saree is the most popular attire adopted by Indian women. The beauty of this garment is its grace. The saree is a six meter cloth draped around an inner longskirt. The skirt is fastened to the waist by means of a string. Persistent and long term use of this attire has resulted in waist skin dermatoses. However waist dermatoses giving rise to malignancy is rare. We present a case of 45 year old lady who complained of a recurrent ulcer over waist line following excision. Edge biopsy showed squamous cell carcinoma. A wide local excision was done. Follow up visits showed her to be disease free.
