Post-traumatic acute Marjolin ulcer with a short latency period in a young man: a case report

To our knowledge, this is likely to be the first reported case of acute Marjolin ulcer in East Africa and the third in Africa. This highlights the challenges in diagnosing and managing acute Marjolin ulcer in low- and middle-income countries. The short latent period of acute Marjolin ulcer in Africa necessitates genetic and immunological studies. Where possible, deep chronic wounds should be grafted, while unstable scars should be excised and grafted.
