title: Squamous cell carcinoma developing in the scar of Fournier's gangrene--case report.
abstract: BACKGROUND
  Squamous cell carcinoma of the scrotum is rare and its development in the scar of Fournier's gangrene is still rarer.
  
  
  METHODS
  A 65-year-old gentleman presented with a small non-healing ulcer developing on right hemi-scrotum two years after the treatment for Fournier's gangrene. On histological examination it was found to be squamous cell carcinoma. He was successfully managed by surgery in the form of wide local excision and ilio-inguinal lymph node dissection followed by adjuvant radiotherapy and chemotherapy.
  
  
  CONCLUSIONS
  Squamous cell carcinoma can develop in the scar of Fournier's gangrene after a long delay, which differentiates it from other scar carcinomas or Marjolin's ulcer.
