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
