Marjolin's ulcers are cutaneous malignancies that arise from chronic wounds, often secondary to burns. While squamous cell carcinoma is the most prevalent type, rare instances of other tumors, such as basal cell carcinoma, have occurred. These tumors are challenging to treat due to their high recurrence rate and aggressive behavior.

Marjolin's ulcer is a premalignant condition occurring over scars and chronically inflamed tissue. Squamous cell carcinoma is the most common malignancy associated with Marjolin's ulcer.

Chronic inflammation, long implicated in the genesis of malignancy, is now understood to underlie an estimated 25% of all cancers. The most pertinent malignancies, to the plastic surgeon, associated with the degeneration of chronic inflammation include Marjolin's ulcer, breast implant-associated large cell lymphoma, radiation-induced sarcoma, and Kaposi's sarcoma. The cellular and genetic damage incurred by a prolonged inflammatory reaction is controlled by an increasingly understood cytokinetic system.
