The diagnosis and treatment of carcinomas occurring at the sites of chronic pressure ulcers
Abstract
Tumours that develop at the sites of pressure ulcers are very aggressive. Removal is thus crucial, but such cases are difficult to diagnose. This paper discusses a rare case of Marjolin's ulcer, which was treated with excision and radiotherapy.
