| Popis: | A 62-year-old female presented to the Surgery Outpatient Department with a four-month history of a wound on the lateral aspect of her right thigh, with an underlying history of trauma a few days prior. She had suffered a flame burn injury 50 years ago. There was a progressive increase in the size of the wound over the past four months, with an associated pricking type of pain. The patient denied other symptoms such as fever or discharge. Local examination revealed a 14×12 cm solitary ulcer on the posterolateral aspect of the right thigh with irregular margins and rolled-out edges [Table/Fig-1]. The base was formed by muscle induration, associated with slough and an absence of any discharge or bleeding. Multiple wedge biopsies from the wound margins and base were performed, revealing moderately differentiated Squamous Cell Carcinoma (SCC). |
