Aggressive Squamous Cell Carcinoma Originating as a Marjolin's Ulcer

DERMATOLOGIC SURGERY, Issue 2 2004
Shawn R. Sabin MD
Background. Marjolin's ulcer is an epidermoid carcinoma arising in a scar or chronic wound and can have an aggressive course. Objective. To present a case of squamous cell carcinoma arising in a burn scar with resulting metastases and to discuss Marjolin's ulcer. Results. The patient continued to have further metastatic disease despite aggressive surgical treatment. Conclusion. In following patients with chronic ulcers and wounds, it is important to evaluate any changes immediately with biopsies and further imaging studies if indicated in order to treat effectively. Even aggressive surgical intervention will sometimes be inadequate in treating these tumors. [source]

Eccrine syringofibroadenoma in a patient with a burn scar ulcer

BRITISH JOURNAL OF DERMATOLOGY, Issue 3 2000
E. Ichikawa
A 72-year-old woman with a burn scar on the calves of both legs developed an ulcer on her right heel, surrounded by multiple verrucous nodules and plaques. She had experienced similar verrucous lesions on both legs in the burn scar areas. Although the clinical diagnosis was Marjolin's ulcer, histologically the ulcer region showed thick fibrous tissue without any atypical epithelial cells. The verrucous lesions were consistent with the diagnosis of eccrine syringofibroadenoma (ESFA). Moreover, an ESFA-like growth pattern was seen in the elevated margin of the ulcer. Our findings suggest that these lesions developed as a result of reactive eccrine duct hyperplasia followed by skin tissue remodelling. [source]

Squamous cell carcinoma arising from perineal lesion in a familial case of Hidradenitis suppurativa

INTERNATIONAL WOUND JOURNAL, Issue 2 2009
K Chandramohan
ABSTRACT Hidradenitis suppurativa (HS) is a chronic dermatologic disorder characterised by multiple vesiculopustular cutaneous lesions in skin. It sometimes express autosomal dominant mode of inheritance. In some patients, it can give rise to squamous cell carcinoma of skin. Unlike the usual marjolin's ulcer which develops in chronic scars, this disease carries a grave prognosis with high recurrence rate and mortality. Here we are reporting the case of a 40-year-old gentle man with hidradenitis suppurativa, who presented with squamous cell carcinoma in the perianal region, and had multiple family members affected with HS. A short history and review of literature are discussed. Squamous cell carcinoma arising from HS is a major therapeutic challenge. This malignancy carries very high rates of recurrence and mortality. Careful surveillance of the lesions of HS, especially occurring in perineal region is very important to diagnose secondary malignancies. Similarly, meticulous surgical excision with careful resection of all sinus tracks and frozen section examination of margins are very important to eradicate the disease. [source]
