[Fistula carcinoma 62 years following roller crush trauma of the hand].
The development of carcinoma after trauma is a rare event. A case of an eighty-two-year old man is reported, who had massive trauma to his hand at the age of twenty. After a more or less symptomless interval of twenty-three years he began a period of recurrent osteomyelitis. Thirty-nine years later still a carcinoma was diagnosed in the same region. The relationship of carcinoma development to trauma is discussed.
