Description
This retrospective study investigates malignant degeneration of burn scars, specifically Marjolin’s ulcers, in 30 patients treated over ten years at the Avicenna Military Hospital. The analysis covers epidemiological data, diagnostic procedures, therapeutic interventions, and outcomes. The findings underline the importance of early detection and management, particularly in socioeconomically disadvantaged populations. Recommendations for prevention and treatment adaptation are proposed.
