Squamous Cell Carcinoma Occurring at the Site of an Arteriovenous Fistula Ulcer:A Case Report / 대한피부과학회지

ABSTRACT

Marjolin’s ulcer is a malignant skin tumor that arises at the site of scars, chronic ulcerations, inflammations, and fistulas after a long latent period. These tumors are mostly squamous cell carcinomas; however, other types of malignancies, such as basal cell carcinoma, malignant melanoma, and sarcoma rarely occur. Marjolin’s ulcer have aggressive characteristics, and local recurrence and lymph node metastasis rates are higher than those of cutaneous primary tumors. Herein, we report an unusual case of squamous cell carcinoma at the site of an arteriovenous fistula ulcer treated with repeated radical operation and skin graft.
