Abstract

Chronic wounds, scars, burns and recalcitrant chronic inflammatory skin lesions can give rise to malignancy. These neoplasias are usually squamous cell carcinomas but basal cell carcinomas can also develop. Tumorigenesis is a severe complication of chronic ulcers as well as certain inflammatory skin diseases; early diagnosis is critical for prognosis. This article describes parallels between wound healing, chronic inflammatory skin diseases and carcinogenesis and provides advice on practical aspects of diagnosis and therapy.
