Burn wound carcinoma: case report and review of the literature

J S Abbas et al. Burns Incl Therm Inj. 1988 Jun.

Abstract

A 22-year-old man developed squamous cell carcinoma of the exophytic papillary type following a latent period of 14 years in a burn scar overlying the left forearm and wrist, with concomitant left axillary lymph node metastasis. The literature pertaining to clinical presentation, pathological findings and prognosis of such patients has been reviewed. The surgical treatment and adjuvant therapy have been discussed. Patients should be counselled to seek medical advice early for persistent ulcerations or deep scars of burn wounds, especially those overlying joint surfaces.
