title: Squamous cell carcinoma arising at the base of the penis in a burn scar(1).
abstract: 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.
