Area of Science:

  • Dermatology
  • Oncology
  • Medical History

Background:

  • Marjolin's ulcer is defined as epidermal squamous cell carcinoma (SCC) arising in chronically inflamed skin.
  • The term honors Marjolin, though historical evidence suggests he did not describe this specific condition.

Observation:

  • This case presents the first documented instance of Marjolin's ulcer developing on the neck.
  • The ulcer resulted from prolonged skin irritation in the cervical region.

Findings:

  • The study confirms the occurrence of Marjolin's ulcer in a novel anatomical location (neck).
  • It highlights the potential for SCC development in areas of persistent dermal irritation.

Implications:

  • This finding expands the known clinical presentations and locations for Marjolin's ulcer.
