Marjolin's ulcer--a diagnostic dilemma.
Marjolin's ulcer is malignant change in a long-standing ulcer and or scar tissue. Commonly these lesions are treated as chronic ulcers and suspicion of malignancy should be raised with crusting, increase in pain or size of the ulcer and bleeding. We report a case of Marjolin's ulcer arising in a post-traumatic chronic ulcer of sole in a 60-year-old female.
