Marjolin's Ulcer Arising in a Burn Scar.
Journal of Burn Care & Research : Official Publication of the American Burn Association 2018 June 14
Marjolin's ulcer is an aggressive disease arising in chronic wounds and cutaneous scars. Corbo et al define Marjolin's ulcer an often overlooked or misdiagnosed tumor. We report a case of Marjolin's ulcer arose in a burn scar of a 51-year-old man who sustained a burn in childhood. A punch biopsy showed squamous cell carcinoma. The lesion was surgically removed with wide excision. The loss of substance was covered with a partial-thickness skin graft, harvested from the left thigh with dermatome. Histological examination confirmed a well-differentiated squamous cell carcinoma. Burn scars are the most commonly associated with these tumors, but other lesions may initiate this malignant transformation. The most common type of tumor reported in a Marjolin's ulcer is squamous cell carcinoma, but Pavlovic et al reported other malignancies.
