PY - 2018 T2 - Textbook of Complex General Surgical Oncology AB - Squamous cell carcinoma (SCC) is the second most common form of skin cancer after basal cell carcinoma (BCC). In 1775, Percival Pott published "Chirurgical Observations Relative to the Cancer of the Scrotum" in which he detailed the primary development and metastatic progression of lesions involving the scrotum of chimney sweeps.1 The publication was the first to identify a carcinogen and its occupational link to malignancy. The first detailed clinical description of BCC was by Arthur Jacob half a century later.1 In 1828, Jean-Nicolas Marjolin described malignant transformation within traumatic scars, while it is reported that in 1860, Heurteux first described an instance of carcinoma in a burn scar, a condition that has eponymously come to be known as Marjolin’s ulcer.1 SN - PB - McGraw-Hill Education CY - New York, NY Y2 - 2024/03/29 UR - hemonc.mhmedical.com/content.aspx?aid=1145756484 ER -
