ABSTRACT

The ulcers are a challenge in the approach, is important to rule out some factors like Marjolin’s ulcer it is the eponym of a rare skin cancer, mainly associated with burn scars. In 75 to 96% of this ulcers develops a squamous cell carcinoma, 1 to 25% develops a basal cell carcinoma and other histological types in lesser proportion. We present the case of a patient who develops an ulcer in the site of a skin graft made after electrical burn. Our patent was treated with biopsy to rule out skin cancer and autologous skin grafts with punch, with good results.
