title: [Marjolin's ulcer in a 54-year-old skin graft].
abstract: Marjolin's ulcer (MU) is a malignant degeneration of a chronic wound and spinocellular carcinoma is the most common type. MU is described as being aggressive in nature and carries a high incidence of metastases. A 71-year-old man developed spinocellular carcinoma 54 years after a primary amputation and a construction of a skin graft due to a severe foot trauma. The carcinoma was excised and a forefoot amputation was performed.
