Marjorin ulcer (squamous cell carcinoma) in a temporal artery biopsy wound
It is well recognized that postoperative and traumatic wounds and scars are susceptible to malignant degeneration, most commonly to squamous cell carcinoma (SCC).1 This phenomenon can occur months to decades after the inciting trauma.1 We describe a case arising from a temporal artery biopsy (TAB) site, demonstrating the importance of considering skin malignancy in any nonhealing incision. Informed consent for publication of this patient's case was obtained, adhering to the Declaration of Helsinki principles.
