RESUMEN
A 73-year-old woman who has been suffering from ulcer pain on left lower leg of burn scars visited our clinic for prosthesis rehabilitation. Symptom has been developed since 12 months ago. She burned herself with oil at the age of 40. Biopsy on the skin lesion revealed squamous cell carcinoma. Marjolin's ulcer is a rare but highly aggressive squamous cell cancer that is most often associated with chronic burn wounds. Patient had undergone multiple prior split-thickness skin grafts for recurrent squamous cell carcinoma. She had undergone a trans-tibial amputation and subsequently given adjuvant chemotherapy for recurrent disease. After amputee training the patient was able to walk by herself and could perform all activities of daily living independently. Cancer induced amputees need prostheses with intensive rehabilitation training program for ambulation to prevent deterioration of physical function and mental health due to immobilization. However, she developed another recurrence and decided not to undergo further surgery and eventually died in hospice care due to progressive metastatic disease.
