Metastatic adenocarcinoma in a recent burn scar.

Neoplastic lesions arising in recent burn scars are apparently quite rare and we could find no report of such an occurrence in the literature. Nevertheless we recently treated a patient with a metastatic adenocarcinoma from the lung in a 3-month-old burn scar.

Specific pattern burn in a psychiatric patient.

Position at the time of burning can be precisely determined by analysis of the depth, configuration, distribution of the burn, flexion creases and spared areas. This information is very useful in determining non-accidental injuries in children. Although specific pattern injuries are rare in adults, we report an example of a self-inflicted burn in a schizophrenic which resembles a 'forced immersion burn'.
