Verrucous carcinoma of skin.Epithelioma cuniculatum plantare

An unusual case of bilateral verrucous carcinoma of the foot (epithelioma cuniculatum)

Verrucous carcinoma is a rare, well-differentiated variant of squamous cell carcinoma with a minimal incidence of metastasis. Conservative treatment and local excision have been utilized although with high recurrence rates. We present a unique case of a 44-year-old male with bilateral foot involvement with recurrences after local excision, leading to management with bilateral forefoot amputations.

A 78-year-old woman presented with a growing mass on the right medial canthal a...
