Biomed Imaging Interv J 2006; 2(3):e26 - CT appearances of Marjolin’s ulcer in the left gluteal region of a young man

Figure 2 (a) Contrast-enhanced axial CT scan of the pelvis demonstrates an irregular nodular enhancing rim of the ulcer in the left gluteal region, with air pockets and hyperdense foci suggesting bone fragments (short arrow) within it. The sciatic nerve is displaced posteriorly and separate from the tumour (blue arrow); (b) Contrast-enhanced axial CT scan of the pelvis at a higher level (displayed in bone window), showing erosion and sclerosis of the left ischial tuberosity (arrow). There is an associated periosteal new bone formation.
