Özet
Marjolin's ulcer is a rare skin cancer that originates in areas of chronic wounds and scar tissues. It has more aggressive nature than other primary skin cancers. The exact mechanism of tumor development has not yet been identified. It could be seen on the skin of whole body surface. The most common histopathologic type of this malignancy is squamous cell carcinoma. It could develop in early and late period of time after trauma. Although surgery is still the main treatment, radiotherapy and chemotherapy could be other options in appropriate circumstances. In the present case report we described a patient who had lost her scalp in a work accident 25 years ago and developed skin cancer on scar tissue in late period, with a literature review.
