Abstract
Postburn malignant degeneration into squamous cell carcinoma is unusual but well described. Much rarer is malignant degeneration of a burn into basal cell carcinoma. Recently a well-documented case was seen. The cause was postulated to be injury to the more superficial hair follicles and sweat glands. A brief report is given.
