Marjolin’s ulcer is a malignant cutaneous ulcer
that undergoes transformation from a previously
traumatized or chronically inflammed skin.1 Causes
leading to ulcerations can be burn injury, trauma,
chronic osteomyelitis and varicose ulcers.2 It is named
after a French surgeon, Jean Nicolas Marjolin, who
first described the condition in patients who developed
malignant ulcers from burn scars.3 We report a case of
a chronic non-healing foot ulcer that has become a
Marjolin’s ulcer after 12 years. (Copied from article).
