Squamous cell carcinoma (SCC) in burn scars is aggressive. Patients with burn scars require periodic monitoring due to increased risk of developing this cancer, especially on lower extremities.

Area of Science:

  • Oncology
  • Dermatology
  • Surgical Pathology

Background:

  • Malignant transformation of burn scars occurs in an estimated 2% of cases.
  • Squamous cell carcinoma (SCC) is the predominant malignancy arising in burn scars.
  • Understanding SCC in burn scars is crucial for early detection and management.

Observation:

  • A retrospective study analyzed 36 cases of SCC arising in burn scars from a cohort of 570 SCC tumors.
  • Data included patient demographics, burn-to-carcinoma latency, tumor location, and metastasis.
  • Comparison was made with SCC cases lacking a burn scar history.

Findings:

  • SCC developed in 6.31% of burn scars studied (36 out of 570 cases).
  • The average age of patients with burn scar SCC was 46.77 years, with a mean latency of 32.22 years post-burn.

  • Burn scar SCC demonstrated a predilection for lower extremities and showed a higher propensity for metastasis compared to non-burn scar SCC.

    • Implications:

    • Burn scar-associated SCC exhibits aggressive characteristics.
    • Vigilance for SCC development in burn scar patients is warranted.
    • Periodic follow-up of individuals with burn scars is recommended for early detection and intervention.
