Abstract
Childhood burn accidents are still a problem all over the world. Besides the contractures and hypertrophic scar conditions, malignant transformation in the burn scar is one of the primary concerns later in adulthood. Marjolin ulcer, commonly seen after burn scar, is a neoplastic change in the scar t...

Abstract
A Marjolin's ulcer arising in a chronic scalp burn scar is reported. Malignant transformation occurred after 1 decade. The tumor had invaded the skull, but not dura mater and its underlined brain tissue. This case illustrates the importance of appropriate and expeditious initial wound management of...

Abstract
Embryonal rhabdomyosarcoma (ERMS) is a highly malignant tumor in children and adolescents. It rarely occurs in adults. A 47-year-old patient presented with ERMS of the muscle flap transplant 20 years after an open type III-comminuted fracture of the lower leg. The affected leg was amputated. The pat...

Abstract
The existence of a pathogenic link between blunt soft tissue trauma and the formation of post-traumatic lipomas is still controversial. Two potential mechanisms are discussed. Firstly, the formation of so-called post-traumatic 'pseudolipomas' may result from a prolapse of adipose tissue through fasc...

Abstract
We present a case of traumatic neuroma around the celiac trunk after gastrectomy in a 56-year-old man, which was confirmed by pathology. CT demonstrated the presence of a lobulated, homogeneous, hypoattenuating mass around the celiac trunk, mimicking a nodal metastasis....

Abstract
We found very limited or no neuroma formation in wild-type animals, regardless of the surgical procedure. In the majority of trkB-deficient mice, the post-traumatic neuroma was found at the end of the proximal stump of the transected nerve. In the gap injury model, in trkB-deficient animals receivin...

Abstract
Paraffin wax-embedded ocular globes of cats with post-traumatic ocular sarcomas were examined for the presence of TERT, the active subunit of telomerase. The latter is a ribonucleoprotein complex essential for immortalization and expressed by most malignant tumours, germ line cells, lens epithelial...

Abstract
We perform a combined approach and aggressive surgery for treatment of Marjolin's ulcer; excision with safe margin, lymphatic dissection, postoperative radiotherapy, chemotherapy and amputation if needed. We think that the scar tissue acts as a barrier for the tumors, which will enlarge. We believe...

Abstract
Although the main burn scar neoplasm was SCC, other neoplasms contributed to the morbidity and mortality of burn patients. Excision and grafting of deep burns, and close follow-up of non-healing ulcerated burn scars is essential for the prevention and early detection of burn scar neoplasms....

Abstract
After nerve injury and regeneration, significant pain may be associated with the scar and altered sensation observed within the distribution of the injured nerve. A bulbous swelling may form at the severed nerve end, constituting a traumatic neuroma. The development of a painful neuroma may be more...

Abstract
Malignancies in scars are generally known as Marjolin's ulcer. The majority of these arise from burn injuries. Although Marjolin's ulcer consists of all kinds of skin cancer, squamous cell carcinoma is the main cancer type reported in the literature. The pathogenesis of this tumor is due to chronic...

Abstract
The presentation of a boy with an acutely painful scrotum is often associated with a history of trauma. Two recent patients with a history of scrotal trauma and an enlarged hemiscrotum were found on surgical exploration to have unusual causes for the scrotal enlargement. In the first case, there was...

Reported here is a 15-year-old with lesions demonstrating histologic features of targetoid hemosiderotic hemangioma (THH) developing after trauma to inflammatory lesions. These lesions pose as simulators of THH. Targetoid hemosiderotic hemangioma is a benign vascular lesion first described by Santa...

Abstract
Marjolin's ulcers can produce neoplasms. They appear on previous scars produced by old three degree burns. Sometimes they appear after 50 years of the previous accident. Three patients showing squamous cell epitheliomas are presented, and the opportunity and technique of the surgical treatment is di...

Abstract
Three patients with a traumatic neuroma had a centrally radiolucent nodule with peripherally dense rim and intact layer of overlying fat, which was stable on CT studies for 1 to 2 years. One of these had a clinical trigger point. The fourth patient with a pathologically proved traumatic neuroma mixe...

Abstract
We have described the case of a 14-year-old boy who developed an acute squamous cell carcinoma within a healed burn scar 6 weeks after thermal injury. This is a rare condition necessitating early excision and histopathologic confirmation of clearance. The authors recommend early skin grafting of dee...

Abstract
A 70-year-old man with previous cholecystectomy developed progressive obstructive jaundice, 3 months before hospitalization. Intraoperatively, a 2 x 2 x 1.5-cm mass in the distal part of the right hepatic duct was excised to release complete obstruction. It was verified as traumatic (amputation) neu...

Abstract
A case report and literature review are presented involving a fatal case of squamous cell carcinoma of the lower extremity. The unique aspects of this patient include the young age at presentation (35 years old), and the association with both a burn scar (Marjolin's) ulcer and a draining osteomyelit...
