From Basic Chronic Wounds To Mortal Endings; Squamous Cell Carsinom Arising From Hidradenitis Suppurativa and Pilonidal Sinus Diseases

Abstract

Marjolin's ulcer is an aggressive ulcerating malignancy that arises in a chronic wound and most often takes the form of squamous cell carcinoma (SCC). It often occurs in old burn scars, but it may also develop in post-traumatic lesions or chronic wounds. The prognosis is often poor as a result of delayed diagnosis. Presently described are cases in which chronic hidradenitis suppurativa and pilonidal sinus developed into SCC.
