It is well-known that the development of a malignant tumor in a chronic burn scar is one of the long-term complications of a severe burn. Most of these tumors are squamous cell carcinomas, and sarcomas are much rarely seen in chronic burn scars. In the previous literature, 24 cases of burn scar sarcomas were reported. The authors report the second case of dermatofibrosarcoma protuberans arising in a chronic, severe burn scar. A 68-year-old woman with a reddish tumor in the right axilla was referred to the authors' hospital. The patient had sustained severe burns in the right axilla, upper arm, and trunk at the age of 6 years. A biopsy specimen revealed dermatofibrosarcoma protuberans. There was no evidence of distant metastasis. The tumor was excised widely to include the surrounding burn scar. Two years after the operation, there was no evidence of tumor recurrence. As surgeons, we should recognize the possibility of the occurrence of various malignant tumors including sarcomas on burn scars.

“…Most authors (16)(17)(18) recommend performing multiple / multilocular biopsies on different areas of the ulcer to avoid the risk of false-negative single biopsies. In addition to tumours in chronic leg ulcers of vascular origin, several cases with a history of extensive scarring of the leg secondary to preceding injuries, burns or infections are reported (19,20), (21).…”

Ré sumé : La transformation maligne des cicatrices de brû lure est une complication commune. Le cancer le plus fré quent sur cicatrice de brû lure est le carcinome é pidermoïde (CE), la survenue de mé lanome (MM) est extrê mement rare. Nous rapportons l'observation d'un patient avec un MM multiple polymé tastasique survenant sur une cicatrice de brû lure avec revue de la litté rature. Il s'agissait d'un homme de 67 ans, aux anté cé dents de brû lure au niveau du thorax dè s l'â ge de six ans. Il consultait pour des lé sions nodulaires pigmenté es sur la cicatrice de brû lure é voluant depuis cinq ans. La biopsie confirme le diagnostic de MM. Des mé tastases multiples é taient dé celé es. Mots clé s : Mé lanome -Brû lure -Mé tastases Multiple polymetatatic malignant melanomas arising in burn scarsAbstract: Malignant changes in burn scars are common. The most frequent cancer arising from an old burn scar is squamous cell carcinoma, while melanoma is extremely rare. We report a case of a patient with a multiple polymetatasic malignant melanoma arising from a burn scar areas and a review of literature. A 67-year-old patient who had been burned, the upper portion of her anterior trunk, at age 6 years. Nodular pigmented lesions were noted, on the burned areas 5 years before consultation. The biopsy was reported as malignant melanoma. Multiple metastases were noted.
