“…As like other studies, the most common site of MU in our study was lower limb. The second most common site in our study was upper limb which is in contradiction to other studies in which head and neck is the most common site after lower limb [9][10][11]. In our study regional lymphadenopathy was found in 16% cases by combining clinical examination with routine USG evaluation of regional LN basin.…”

“…In our study regional lymphadenopathy was found in 16% cases by combining clinical examination with routine USG evaluation of regional LN basin. This rate is somewhat lower than the range of 20-36% reported from other studies [9]. In fact the LN metastasis reported in literature varies widely, with some studies have reported LN metastasis in more than 60% cases [10].…”

“…2 Marjolin's ulcer may develop in various anatomical locations, although the highest incidence is in the lower extremities. 1,5 The predilection of these lesions may be due to injuries that affect the arms and legs, such as a grenade shrapnel injury in this case. The transformation from ulcer to malignancy is typically slow and the pathogenesis is unclear, 5,6 but it is most likely multifactorial.…”

“…Most Marjolin's ulcers are squamous cell carcinoma (SCC) in origin (over 75%) and have been associated with various types of chronic wounds, including pressure sores, osteomyelitis and venous stasis ulcers. 1,2 Few case reports in the literature exist regarding the malignant transformation of old war scars. We present a case of SCC arising from a grenade shrapnel injury sustained over 60 years prior in a Korean War veteran.…”

In 1828, Jean Nicholas Marjolin, a French surgeon, first described the findings of a neoplastic development arising from a burn scar, now more commonly referred to as a Marjolin's ulcer. A Marjolin's ulcer describes malignant degeneration in any chronic wound. The majority of cases arises in burn scars and are often latent for decades. Marjolin ulcers have been widely identified in post-war time injuries. These ulcers may arise in almost any anatomical location. We report a case of an 82-year-old male that presented with a painful fluctuating mass on the right arm localized to the site of an old grenade blast injury he sustained many years earlier. While the presentation of these cases may be variable, the significance of proper management of the wounds is essential to optimal patient outcomes. An aggressive course and poor prognosis is associated with Marjolin's ulcers that degenerate into squamous cell carcinoma. Early detection and aggressive treatment/management with wide local excision and prompt coverage yield the best results when treating patients with Marjolin's ulcers.

“…Most common cancer is Squamous cell carcinoma(71%),followed by basal cell carcinoma(6%),malignant melanoma(5%) and scarcomas(4%) [1] . Also rare case of malignant fibrous histocytoma, dermatofibrosarcoma protuberans, pleomorphic liposarcoma and verrucous carcinoma have been reported in post burn patient [1,2,3,4] . Adenocarcinoma in burn scar is extremely rare, total 5 cases have been reported and one case out of 5 was of IDC breast.…”

Objective: A 25 years old female presented to outpatient department of General Surgery of Civil Hospital with breast lump. The objective was to investigate and diagnose the case. Material and Methods:The case was clinically examined in General surgery department. FNAC was done to diagnose swelling. The resected tissue was sent to histopathology for confirmation of the diagnosis. Histological analysis and Immunohistochemical staining was done in Pathology department.Results: On FNAC-Infiltrating Ductal Carcinoma of breast.The patient was operated and tumor was resected. On gross examination, growth identified measures 4x3.5x2.5cm 3 , Cut surface is whitish solid, well defined and firm to hard.On histological examination tumor was diagnosed to be Poorly Differentiated Ductal Carcinoma of Breast. Immuno-histo-chemical staining revealed that the cells were positive for Estrogen receptor and Progesterone receptor. This case was to be Post burn Ductal Carcinoma of breast. Conclusion:Malignancy arising from Burn scar is rare, Squamous cell Carcinoma is most common Burn scar neoplasia and adenocarcinoma is extremely rare. So such cases should be thoroughly examined and followed.
