Abstract:
Chronically injured areas have the possibility of transforming into malignant tissue, with squamous cell carcinoma being the most common type. This rare entity is known as Marjolin's ulcer. Most of these ulcers derive from chronic burn wounds. This case report exhibits a rare Marjolin's ulcer that developed on a 50-year-old male with a previous saphenectomy on his left leg. The patient was brought to the operating room (OR), for excision of the ulcer with a rotation flap to correct the defect. There is still no definite treatment protocol for Marjolin's ulcer. In the present article, the most common treatments are discussed. The main takeaway of this case is the prevention of Marjolin's ulcer by timely treating ulcerative lesions.
