Oxford Medical Case Reports
Babikir KheiriSamer Al Hadidi

Abstract

Marjolin's ulcer is a rare and aggressive type of Squamous Cell Carcinoma (SCC) originating from previously chronic non-healing inflamed skin or trauma, and often after burns in up to 2% of cases. We are presenting a case of SCC secondary to a 30-year history of burn scar. Wound care and traumatic wound closure to prevent malignant degeneration is advisable and should be considered by medical providers.
