A Rare Case of Verrucous Carcinoma of Foot

Abstract

Verrucous carcinoma is a rare, locally invasive, well-differentiated, and low-grade squamous cell carcinoma, with low metastatic potential. To our knowledge such cases reported are only finger counting numbers. In this case report, we present a rare case of a patient with an ulcerative lesion in the plantar foot that clinically and radiographically faced with a dilemma whether it was an osteomyelitis or deep mycosis or viral warts with secondary infection. The initial surgical approach consisted of wide excision of the malignant neoplasm including some normal tissue too. Definite diagnosis is by histopathology only.
