Abstract
|
|
|
Marjolin's ulcer is a special type of skin malignancy arising from previous scar site.
We report two cases of Marjolin's ulcer arising from chronic degenerating burn scar.
A 65-year-old male had a 9×15cm sized ulcer on his right popliteal fossa. He had a history of burn when he was seventeen years old and an ulcerating tumor developed at the site of burn scar about 1 year ago. The ulcer became progressively
enlarged
in
size and also painful. Skin biopsy revealed squamous cell carcinoma and subsequently Above-Knee amputation was done.
Another 54-year-old male had a painful coin sized ulcer on his right popliteal fossa where he had burn at the age of thirty-four. The ulcer was developed at the site of burn scar about 2months ago. The pathologic diagnosis was squamous cell
carcinoma.
He was recommended to get his leg amputated, but it was refused. (Kor J Dermatol 1992;30 (5) : 737-742)
