Ulcera de Marjolin, reporte de caso

2018 
Resumen Se presenta el caso de una mujer de 77 anos, sin antecedentes relevantes, con ulcera en tobillo izquierdo de dos anos de evolucion relacionada a herida previa por quemadura con agua caliente de aproximadamente 60 anos de antiguedad, con crecimiento progresivo y mala respuesta a tratamiento inicial con curaciones y luego con antibioticos.  Se realiza estudio con biopsia cutanea incisional que confirma cancer espinocelular moderadamente diferenciado e infiltrante en dermis reticular, lo cual corresponde a una ulcera de Marjolin. Se deriva a cirugia oncologica donde se  realiza el estudio de etapificacion con resultado de lesion osea por contiguidad y una tomografia axial computada (TC) de torax, abdomen y pelvis sin diseminacion a distancia, por lo se decide  amputacion infracondilea de la extremidad afectada. Debido a este caso de interes, se realiza una revision sobre ulcera de Marjolin, con el fin de lograr un diagnostico adecuado y un tratamiento precoz. Abstract We present the case of a 77-year-old woman, with no relevant history, with a left ankle ulcer of two years of evolution related to previous burn injury with hot water of approximately 60 years old, with progressive growth and poor response to initial treatment with cures and then with antibiotics. A study was performed with cutaneous incisional biopsy confirming moderately differentiated and infiltrating squamous cell cancer in the reticular dermis, which corresponds to a Marjolin ulcer. It is derived to oncologic surgery where the etapification study is carried out with result of contiguous bone injury and a computed axial tomography (CT) of the thorax, abdomen and pelvis without distant dissemination, so infracondile amputation of the affected extremity is decided. Due to this interest case report, a review of Marjolin's ulcer is performed, in order to achieve an adequate diagnosis and early treatment.
