Staged Surgical Reconstruction With Skin Expansion of A Marjolin’s Ulcer With Better Recovery: a Case Report

Marjolin’s ulcers (MUs) are one of the most common tumors developed from non-healing wound with chronic inflammation or injury, specially burn scars, over many years. However, the therapy recommendations for MUs are not yet definitive. Here, we presented a case of 60-year-old man with a chronic non-healing infected wound related to MUs in the right knee. And, the wound made a better recovery after treatment with staged operation in combination with skin expansion.
