Abstract
Marjolin's ulcer is a situation describing the malignant transformation of chronic unstable scars, especially in chronic burn scars. From all burn scar malignancies, carcinomas are the most common reported cases with an invasive majority of squamous cell carcinomas (SCC). As surgeons, we should recognize this long-term complication of severe burns, its occurrence, its clinicopathologic aspect, its prognosis and for sure its adequate management. We describe an unusual presentation of post-burn sequalae of a middle finger revealing a squamous-cell carcinoma degeneration and present a review of the literature to clarify Marjolin's ulcers characteristics.
