Verrucous Carcinoma of the Foot: A Case Report

Verrucous Carcinoma of the Foot: A Case Report

We present a case of verrucous carcinoma of the foot in a 34-year-old man. This is a rare, locally invasive, well-differentiated, low-grade squamous cell carcinoma, with human papilloma virus as a possible causative agent. It follows a chronic course and mimics a variety of skin lesions, delaying di...
