Abstract

Marjolin's ulcer (MU) is a rare condition defined as a malignant skin tumor arising from chronic wounds and inflammation. The most common histological findings in MUs are squamous cell carcinomas (SCC) (or spinocellular carcinomas [SPC]), such as basal cell carcinomas (BCC) and malignant melanomas (MM). The aim of this study is to report the case of a patient with sequelae of leprosy who presented malignant transformation in a long-standing ulcer on the right leg, thereby contributing to understanding of the progression and significance of early diagnosis of MU. The MU was diagnosed by incisional biopsy of the lesion and upon obtaining a positive result the patient was referred to an oncology service. Treatment of MU is multidisciplinary and surgical excision is the first therapeutic option. Proper management and surveillance of chronic ulcers by the healthcare team are necessary for early recognition of MU.

麻风后遗症患者长期溃疡的恶性转化:病例报告。
马乔林溃疡(MU)是一种罕见的疾病,是由慢性伤口和炎症引起的恶性皮肤肿瘤。马乔林溃疡最常见的组织学表现是鳞状细胞癌(SCC)(或棘细胞癌[SPC]),如基底细胞癌(BCC)和恶性黑色素瘤(MM)。本研究旨在报告一例右腿长期溃疡出现恶性转化的麻风后遗症患者的病例,从而有助于了解 MU 的进展情况和早期诊断的意义。该麻风病是通过切口活组织检查确诊的,在获得阳性结果后,患者被转诊至肿瘤科。溃疡性结肠炎的治疗涉及多个学科,手术切除是首选治疗方案。医疗团队对慢性溃疡进行适当的管理和监测,对于早期识别溃疡性结肠炎十分必要。
