【 摘 要 】

Marjolin's ulcer is rare and aggressive cutaneous malignancy that develops in previously traumatized or chronically inflamed skin. We present the case of a 43-year-old white man suffering from an exophytic bleeding ulcerated lesion on the distal third of the left leg where he already had a large scar from a compound fracture of the tibia and fibula complicated with chronic osteomyelitis. Surgical excision and biopsy were performed, showing a squamous cell carcinoma consistent with Marjolin's ulcer. We decided to present this case given the rare occurrence of the disease. We concluded that patients with this type of lesion should be subject to periodic examinations to prevent or treat potential recurrences.
