Abstract
Marjolin's ulcer is a malignant neoplasm originating from long-standing or previously healed skin lesions. Well-differentiated squamous cell carcinoma (SCC) is the most common histologic type. It is an aggressive neoplasm with a poor prognosis and high recurrence rates. It predominates in men and has a higher incidence in the fifth decade of life. The diagnosis is histopathological. Surgical excision is the treatment of choice. Early diagnosis and prevention in wound management reduce complications and guide the correct therapeutic approach.
