Atypical fibroxanthoma, lentigo maligna melanoma and squamous cell carcinoma arising in the site of a thermal burn treated with skin grafts.
We report the first case of atypical fibroxanthoma, lentigo maligna melanoma and squamous cell carcinoma that developed in the site of a thermal burn that had previously been treated with multiple skin grafts.There is a controversy over the question of an increased risk of skin cancer in scars from burns and the various factors which may contribute to this.
