Abstract

‘Marjolin’s ulcer’ is a term that has come to be used for epidermal squamous cell carcinomas that have developed in areas of chronic inflammation. To our knowledge this is the first ever report of a Marjolin’s ulcer developing following long-term irritation of the skin of the neck. The history of the eponym is traced and reveals that Marjolin probably never actually described this pathological process.
