Overview
Reports of non-melanoma cancer date back to biblical times. Percival Pott was the first person to report the malignant nature of squamous cell carcinoma in adolescent British chimney sweeps. This was the first described occupational and exposure-related risk factor for squamous cell carcinoma. Later, other occupational and exposure associations were reported when there were reported incidences of squamous cell carcinoma in mule spinners, and it was therefore called mule spinner's disease. French surgeon Jean-Nicholas Marjolin, in 1828, first described this carcinoma arising in traumatic scars, and subsequently any squamous cell carcinoma associated with burns was termed ''Marjolin's ulcer''.
