Abstract:
Marjolin's ulcer refers to the malignant, ulcerous transformation of burn scars or any other wounds. The predominant histological type is squamous cell carcinoma (SCC), and it is characterized by its aggressiveness and increased risk of recurrence and metastases compared to non-SCC scars. The work presented here is a retrospective study of 21 cases of Marjolin's ulcer, collected at the plastic surgery department of the CHU Mohammed VI in Marrakesh, with the aim of addressing the epidemiological, therapeutic and evolutionary aspects of this pathology. Improved prognosis requires not only early diagnosis and treatment, but also a preventive approach which consists of early skin grafts and regular care of any burn scar.
