Abstract
- Background: We describe here a very rare presentation of Post Burn Contracture axilla in which an underlying infected epidermal inclusion cyst was mimicking Marjolin's ulcer in its presentation. Material and Methods: The patient with Post Burn contracture axilla was treated with release and split skin grafting after excision of the epidermal inclusion cyst. Results: Axilla was released and grafted. Patient was kept on strict splintage and physiotherapy programme to encourage movements. The patient is on regular follow-up and further monitored physiotherapy has been planned to provide a better functional and aesthetic limb. Conclusion: The presentation of Post Burn Contracture axilla described here has not been mentioned in world literature so far and its presentation is a matter of discussion. Opinions regarding possibilities of such presentation are invited from experts in the field.
