Abstract
|
|
|
|
A Marjolin’s ulcer refers to malignancies that developed in chronic venous ulcers, scars, or sinuses. We report three-dimensional computed tomography (CT), magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), and positron emission tomography (PET)-CT findings in a patient who developed skin cancer from a chronic leg ulcer. Although rare, on MR, a Marjolin’s ulcer should be considered when a well-enhanced soft-tissue mass with a broad based skin ulcer shows a mass effect and invasion of the adjacent bone. CT angiography and PET-CT complement MRI for evaluating the nature of Marjolin’s ulcers and may provide essential anatomical information, enabling the physician to design the optimal surgical approach or determining cancer staging.
