Carcinomas developing in chronic pressure ulcers, known as Marjolin's ulcers, are aggressive cancers. Early and extensive surgical intervention, including lymph node dissection, is crucial for effective treatment.

Area of Science:

  • Oncology
  • Dermatology
  • Surgical Pathology

Background:

  • Marjolin's ulcers are malignant transformations occurring in chronic wounds.
  • Pressure ulcers represent a specific etiology for Marjolin's ulcer development.
  • These cancers are known for their aggressive nature and potential for metastasis.

Observation:

  • This study reports on three cases of carcinoma arising from chronic pressure ulcers.
  • Includes the first documented case of squamous cell carcinoma in a distal extremity pressure ulcer.
  • Highlights the aggressive behavior of these specific Marjolin's ulcers.

Findings:

  • Carcinomas in chronic pressure ulcers exhibit more aggressive behavior compared to other Marjolin's ulcers.
  • Aggressive surgical treatment is indicated for these malignancies.

  • Extensive surgical excisions with wide margins are essential.

    • Implications:

    • Early recognition and aggressive surgical management are vital for improving patient outcomes.
    • Elective lymph node dissection should be considered in the therapeutic strategy.
    • Further research into the specific characteristics and optimal treatment of pressure ulcer-associated Marjolin's ulcers is warranted.
