Abstract:
A case report and literature review are presented involving a fatal case of squamous cell carcinoma of the lower extremity. The unique aspects of this patient include the young age at presentation (35 years old), and the association with both a burn scar (Marjolin's) ulcer and a draining osteomyelitis fistulus tract. Epidemiologic data for Marjolin's ulcers as well as squamous cell carcinoma associated with draining sinus tracts of osteomyelitis are reviewed, in addition to the recommended management of such patients. The case presented is a reminder of the need to maintain a high index of suspicion for malignant transformation within ulcerative lesions.
