1/134. Squamous cell carcinoma in chronic ulcerative lesions: a case report and literature review.A case report and literature review are presented involving a fatal case of squamous cell carcinoma of the lower extremity. The unique aspects of this patient include the young age at presentation (35 years old), and the association with both a burn scar (Marjolin's) ulcer and a draining osteomyelitis fistulus tract. Epidemiologic data for Marjolin's ulcers as well as squamous cell carcinoma associated with draining sinus tracts of osteomyelitis are reviewed, in addition to the recommended management of such patients. The case presented is a reminder of the need to maintain a high index of suspicion for malignant transformation within ulcerative lesions.- - - - - - - - - - ranking = 1keywords = carcinoma (Clic here for more details about this article) |
2/134. Synchronous appearance of keratoacanthomas in burn scar and skin graft donor site shortly after injury.skin malignancies can originate in burn scars (Marjolin's ulcer). The most common is squamous cell carcinoma, usually appearing years after injury. Split-thickness skin graft donor sites as a source of malignant transformation are far less frequent and demonstrate a shorter interval between surgery and tumor onset. Keratoacanthomas have rarely been reported to arise in such scars. We describe the simultaneous occurrence of keratoacanthomas on a spontaneously healed second-degree burn on the flank and in the scar of a skin graft donor site on the thigh, 4 months after a 40% total body surface area burn.- - - - - - - - - - ranking = 0.16666666666667keywords = carcinoma (Clic here for more details about this article) |
3/134. Clear cell carcinoma arising in a cesarean section scar endometriosis: a case report.endometriosis of a surgical scar is rare and occurs mainly when a hysterectomy or cesarean section was performed. We describe a 54-year-old woman with a large suprapubic mass as a definite case of a endomerioid carcinoma developing within the scar endometriosis following cesarean section. Scar endometriosis, as well as endometriosis at other sites, can turn malignant. Endometrioid carcinoma is the most common histological pattern of malignant tumor arising in endometriosis. But clear cell carcinoma is very unusual. A case of primary clear cell carcinoma in endometriosis of a cesarean section scar is described. To the best of our knowledge, this is the first documented case of endomerioid carcinoma developing within the scar endometriosis in korea.- - - - - - - - - - ranking = 1.5keywords = carcinoma (Clic here for more details about this article) |

This complication has not previously been reported.- - - - - - - - - - ranking = 0.16666666666667keywords = carcinoma (Clic here for more details about this article) |
5/134. Basal cell carcinoma arising from surgical scars: a case and review of the literature.BACKGROUND: Scar malignancies are generally known as Marjolin's ulcer and the majority of them are epidermoid carcinomas. In addition to epidermoid carcinomas, Basal cell carcinoma (BCC) also can grow in various scars. Basal cell carcinoma cases developing in surgical scars are extremely rare; only 5 cases have been encountered in available English literature. METHOD: A 68-year-old woman who has a BCC originating from a surgical scar due to a previous inguinal hernia operation was presented. CONCLUSION: Trauma has been suggested as one of the etiologic factors for BCC; but the role of trauma or resulting scar in BCC pathogenesis is not known. This unresolved issue can be explained with advanced studies revealing biochemical tissue changes occurring during wound healing and trauma.- - - - - - - - - - ranking = 1.3333333333333keywords = carcinoma (Clic here for more details about this article) |

7/134. Squamous cell carcinoma secondary to recessive dystrophic epidermolysis bullosa: report of eight tumours in four patients.BACKGROUND: The development of squamous cell carcinomas is the main cause of death of patients with Dystrophic epidermolysis bullosa. We think it is of interest to know their clinical characteristics and the treatment difficulties they cause. methods: We followed the clinical evolutions and carried out histopathological studies of eight primary cutaneous squamous cell carcinomas on three males and one female with recessive dystrophic epidermolysis bullosa. Patient ages ranged from 16 to 34 years (mean 27). RESULTS: Two patients had two tumours and one three, all were in characteristically scarred skin; four on upper limbs; four on lower. Maximum tumour dimensions ranged from 2 to 28 cm (mean 13), and represented 6 or more months of evolution. In three cases the affected limb must be amputated. Five tumours were well differentiated, three were moderately differentiated. CONCLUSIONS: The patients consulted too late and their large lesions needed aggressive treatment. Appropriate information and regular examination of patients with RDEB helps early diagnosis of tumours and may avoid disabling operations.- - - - - - - - - - ranking = 1keywords = carcinoma (Clic here for more details about this article) |
8/134. Correction of axillary burn scar contracture with the thoracodorsal perforator-based cutaneous island flap.Axillary scar contracture is observed frequently after severe burn insult and is usually accompanied by injuries to the adjacent area. Although many therapeutic methods, including skin grafting, Z-plasties, local flaps, island flaps, and free flaps, have been established, each technique has its own advantages and disadvantages in specific situations. The decision regarding which technique to use can only be made after consideration is given to the merits of the individual case. We applied thoracodorsal perforator-based cutaneous flaps to 5 patients with axillary burn scar contractures and damaged adjacent tissues. In 1 patient both axillae were involved. Elevated flaps as large as 11 x 27 cm in size were used. All flaps survived completely even when raised in scar tissue. The donor sites were closed primarily except one, which needed a skin graft. Three patients obtained satisfactory release with more than 160 deg shoulder abduction. In 2 patients, release was incomplete with only 110 deg shoulder abduction, but neither one required a second release. The range of motion in terms of shoulder abduction was improved preoperatively (30-90 deg) to postoperatively (110-170 deg). The thoracodorsal perforator-based cutaneous flap presents a very useful reconstructive method for the treatment of axillary defects.- - - - - - - - - - ranking = 8.813156426422E-5keywords = situ (Clic here for more details about this article) |
9/134. An unusual long-term complication of burn injury: malignant fibrous histiocytoma developed in chronic burn scar.Development of malignant tumors in chronic burn wounds is a well-known complication. These tumors are almost always squamous cell carcinomas, although other types of malignancies such as basal cell carcinoma, malignant melanoma and sarcomas can be seen rarely. There are only three previously reported cases of malignant fibrous histiocytoma developed in chronic burn scar in the literature. Two cases with malignant fibrous histiocytoma developed in chronic, badly treated burn wounds are presented. One of the tumors was multifocal and overexpression of the p53 gene was present. Both tumors were excised widely and skin grafted. Regional lymph node dissection was performed in one case. One of the patients died due to tumor recurrence and lymphatic metastases. These cases represent a very uncommon complication of burn injury and indicate the importance of the appropriate primary treatment of the burn wound.- - - - - - - - - - ranking = 0.33333333333333keywords = carcinoma (Clic here for more details about this article) |
10/134. Squamous cell carcinoma arising at the base of the penis in a burn scar(1).Squamous cell carcinoma developed after 32 years in a burn scar located on the ventral surface of the penis at the penoscrotal junction. The origin of squamous cell carcinoma in burn scars is a rare and not completely understood phenomenon. To the best of our knowledge, this is the first documented case of such an event in the penis because of the extreme rarity of genital burns.- - - - - - - - - - ranking = 1keywords = carcinoma (Clic here for more details about this article) |
