Area of Science:

  • Dermatology
  • Oncology
  • Pathology

Context:

  • Marjolin's ulcer, a squamous cell carcinoma, historically linked to burn scars.
  • This malignancy can also arise in chronic draining sinuses and osteomyelitis.
  • It is an uncommon tumor, particularly in developed nations.

Purpose:

  • To discuss the pathogenesis, treatment, and prognosis of Marjolin's ulcer.
  • To highlight the relationship between wound healing and cutaneous malignancy.
  • To present the author's clinical experience with these tumors.

Summary:

  • Marjolin's ulcer originates in scars with repeated ulcerations.
  • Pathogenesis may involve shared tissue factors between wound healing and cancer.
  • Treatment varies: local excision for scar-related carcinomas, amputation for chronic sinus-associated cancers.

Impact:

  • Adequate local excision offers a curative option for scar-associated Marjolin's ulcer.
  • Carcinomas in chronic sinuses, especially osteomyelitis, often require amputation due to tumor spread.
  • Preventive healthcare and proper management of scars/sinuses can reduce Marjolin's ulcer incidence.
