A 19-year-old otherwise healthy male had an electronic cigarette in his left pant pocket when it combusted and lit his pants on fire. He immediately removed his pants and rolled on the ground, which extinguished the flames. He was brought to the emergency department by an ambulance.
Examination revealed a 7 % TBSA non-circumferential mixed partial- and full-thickness burn to the lateral thigh and calf (Fig. 4). On post-burn day 3, he was taken to the operating room for tangential excision and immediate split-thickness skin autografting of 800 cm2. The patient was discharged on post-burn day 9 with 100 % graft take and healing wounds (Fig. 5).
