ABSTRACT

Marjolin's ulcer is a chronic lesion that develops some types of cancer, mainly squamous cell and basal cell carcinoma, although other types of cancer have been reported in these chronic lesions associated with burns, trauma, venous ulcers, pressure ulcers and other chronic wounds. We present the case of a 48-year-old patient who came to the plastic surgery and oncological surgery consultation with two ulcerated lesions in the upper left limb and the lower right limb. The patient had an antecedent of burns in the face, neck, and upper and lower extremities when she was five years-old, which were managed with skin grafts. Biopsies of both lesions that reported squamous cell carcinoma were performed. Oncological surgery doctors performed left transradial amputation, wide resection with tumor-free borders in the right thigh and right inguinal lymph node dissection, and plastic surgery doctors covered the right thigh defect with skin graft. She came to the consulting room four months after surgery with a well-healed upper limb wound, a well-integrated thigh skin graft, no evidence of infection, palpable axillary lymphadenopathy and the inguinal region, free of lymphadenopathy.
