Abstract/OtherAbstract:
|
The degeneration of chronic wounds into basal cell carcinoma is rare. We present an atypical case of basal cell carcinoma diagnosed by soft tissue biopsy in a long-standing wound that had been treated for 3 years as a chronic venous stasis ulcer. In addition to the case report, we review the biomedical literature describing malignant transformation of long-standing wounds. Foot and ankle specialists should be on the lookout for changes that signal malignant transformation in long-standing ulcers. |
