Abstract

The development of a nonhealing ulcer on a chronic wound or scar should raise suspicions of the plastic surgeon or nurse regarding the potential for malignant degeneration to a Marjolin ulcer. Occasionally, a Marjolin ulcer may present as exophytic granulation tissue within a scar. Most Marjolin ulcers are well-differentiated injuries; however, because of their aggressive nature and poor prognosis, to ensure surgical success, diagnosis of Marjolin ulcer should be confirmed and treatment initiated as soon as possible.
