The auther report two cases arising of skin cancer on the burn scar. A 72-year-old Japanese woman got burnt in the frontal scalp, when she was 3 years old. The tumor was an easiely bleeding nodule measuring 14×14×8 mm in size. Histological examination revealed a keratotic Basal Cell Carcinoma. Wide excision of the lesion and local skin flap were performed. Second case was an 86-year-old woman who had a burn on the left thigh during a neonatal period. It has grown up to the intractable ulceration in 1995 and it became hemorrhagic. The biopsy specimen showed that the ulcer is a squamous cell carcinoma. It was removed widely under the general anesthesia, and the skin graft was carried out in 1999. [Skin Cancer (Japan) 2001; 16: 233-236]
