- Abstract
Introduction. Skin giant neoplastic ulcers are a very serious diagnostic and therapeutic problem. The objective of this work was to present the experiences and strategies of our center concerning the treatment of this type of neoplastic ulcers. Material and methods. In this paper we present and analyze 15 cases of patients treated for giant ulcers. This represented 0.4% of all patients treated surgically for skin cancer in our center (n = 3983). Ulcers in this group of patients were located within the head (n = 6), chest (n = 4), abdomen (n = 2), male genitals (n = 1) and lower limbs (n = 2). Results. Our observations indicate that the treatment of giant skin neoplastic ulcers (although they are relatively rare) is a major clinical challenge and requires individualized multidirectional diagnostic and therapeutic methods.
