Abstract/OtherAbstract:
|
Marjolin's ulcers, or malignancy originating from burn scars, have been recorded in the literature since the first century AD (Ozek et al. Marjolin's ulcers arising in burn scars. J Burn Care Rehabil 2001;22:384-9). The majority of cases of Marjolin's ulcers occur in primary burn scar sites with few reported cases following secondary graft placement. We report a case of Marjolin's ulcer that developed in a 57-year-old man, 46 years after initial skin graft placement following a left lower extremity burn. The patient presented to us following diagnosis of squamous cell carcinoma of the verucous type lesion. Wide surgical excision was performed and a split thickness skin graft was applied. The postoperative course was uneventful and no recurrences have occurred. To our knowledge, this is the largest reported Marjolin's case recorded in the literature. |
