ABSTRACT
Development of malignant tumors in chronic burn wounds is a well-known complication. These tumors are almost always squamous cell carcinomas, although other types of malignancies such as basal cell carcinoma, malignant melanoma and sarcomas can be seen rarely. There are only three previously reported cases of malignant fibrous histiocytoma developed in chronic burn scar in the literature. Two cases with malignant fibrous histiocytoma developed in chronic, badly treated burn wounds are presented. One of the tumors was multifocal and overexpression of the p53 gene was present. Both tumors were excised widely and skin grafted. Regional lymph node dissection was performed in one case. One of the patients died due to tumor recurrence and lymphatic metastases. These cases represent a very uncommon complication of burn injury and indicate the importance of the appropriate primary treatment of the burn wound.
