Core Tip	This review on Marjolin’s ulcer (MU) provides a comprehensive account of the key conceptual issues, historic background as well as recent updates on the management of MU developing in the post-burned lesions and scars. New concepts in the management in general and the evolving concepts in the prophylactic nodal treatment such as the sentinel lymph node mapping are highlighted. The epidemiologic and pathophysiologic factors that surround the development of MU in the post-burned lesions are described in vertical depth with subsequent emphasis on the preventive aspects, which certainly hold the key to eradication of this dreadful menace.
