Abstract: The guinea worm infestation, which occurs in different parts of the world, has a penchant to form chronic ulcers in the leg. Now, light has been beamed much on its prevention. Therefore, this paper veers to an oddity, namely, the occurrence of malignant change in this condition. In this context, this may well be the first report of malignancy in this situation.
