Após o estadia mento da doença, o tratamento preconizado foi amputação acima do joelho esquerdo. A úlcera de Marjolin é a transformação maligna de uma lesão ulcerosa crônica. Trata-se de um fenômeno relativamente raro. A neoplasia maligna mais frequentemente descrita na literatura é o carcinoma espinocelular, seguido do basalioma, sarcoma e melanoma. A sua patogenia permanece pouco compreendida.
