Abstract

Marjolin’s ulcer is a malignant complication of chronic ulcer. Changes in ulcer lesions to malignancy can be caused by chronic irritation, infection, decreased vascular variation, and increased expression of proto-oncogene. The most common histopathological form of Marjolin's ulcer is squamous cell carcinoma. A 55-year-old man, complaining of a protruding wound on his left hand that has not healed since three years ago. The patient was diagnosed with leprosy 30 years ago with a history of incomplete treatment. On physical examination, the left palmar region showed solitary ulcer, ±10x8x1.5 cm in size, nodular surface, reddish, hard consistency, with bulging and irregular edge. Slit-skin smear (SSS) examination with Ziehl-Neelsen staining found abundant acid-fast bacilli. Histopathological examination of the ulcer edge shows appearance of epithelial tumor, with differentiated epidermal cells invading the dermis, tumor cells arranged focally and concentrically with a mass of keratin appeared as horn pearl cells.
