ABSTRACT

Marjolin’s ulcer is a rare, aggressive skin cancer associated with burn scars. Most cases (75-96%) present as a squamous cell carcinoma, with lesser incidence (1-25%) of squamous cell carcinoma and other histological forms.
Treatment of choice is surgical excision and skin grafting, with a recurrence rate of 20-25%. Prognosis depends on patient’s age, tumor size and histological type, presence of metastasis, recurrences and implemented treatment.
This article describes a case of squamous cell carcinoma on a burn scar. The patient was successfully treated with surgical excision and autologous skin grafts.
