title: Metastatic adenocarcinoma in a recent burn scar.
abstract: Neoplastic lesions arising in recent burn scars are apparently quite rare and we could find no report of such an occurrence in the literature. Nevertheless we recently treated a patient with a metastatic adenocarcinoma from the lung in a 3-month-old burn scar.
