Marjolin’s ulcer arising from a post burn scar is rare. Here, we present a case of an elderly male with a Marjolin’s ulcer of the hand arising from a post burn scar sustained two decades ago. The patient was not willing for an amputation, so he was managed with a spit skin graft after explaining the possibility of recurrence.
