Abstract A 45-year-old man with a history of psoriasis presented to our male genital dermatology clinic several-year pruritic, painful, hyperkeratotic red–brown plaques on both buttocks. He had previously been treated unsuccessfully cryotherapy and topical imiquimod podophyllotoxin for suspected condyloma acuminata. 4-mm punch biopsy from the left buttock showed hyperkeratosis, hypergranulosis,...

Only 6 cases with an association of disseminated superficial porokeratosis with dermal amyloid deposits are reported in the literature. We present the case of a 76-year-old woman who presented with a disseminated superficial porokeratosis. Histological examination revealed amyloid deposits in the upper dermis, which were typed with routine HE stains, Congo red stains and anticytokeratin antibod...

be associated with porokeratosis,[8] this diagnosis was not considered owing to the lack of typical clinical features and histology of this condition. Authentic clinical and histologic features of Nekam’s disease are, respectively,[9] a facial seborrheic dermatitislike eruption with tiny confluent papules on the trunk and extremities in linear and reticulate arrays and an infundibulocentric and...

Verrucous carcinoma is a rare, extremely well differentiated squamous carcinoma with low clinical malignant potential first described in 1948 in the oral cavity [1]. Since then, it has been described in other sites, such as the anus, penis, and the female genitalia [1]. Based on the literature, verrucous carcinoma accounts for approximately 3-8% of all penile cancers and 20% of verruciform lesi...

INTRODUCTION Oral verrucous carcinoma (OVC) is a rare malignancy of the oral cavity that was first described by Ackerman. This tumor is a well-differentiated low-grade, slow growing cancer that is locally invasive without metastasis. Ameloblastoma is one of the most common odontogenic tumors, which originates from the odontogenic epithelium. Verrucous carcinoma along with central ambloblastoma ...

Verrucous carcinoma has a special propensity to mimic benign lesions of the oral cavity. A case of the oral verrucous carcinoma in maxillary alveolar ridge, extending to buccal vestibule, cheek, and labial mucosa, which was diagnosed and initially treated as chronic candidiasis, is presented. Clinical, histopathological, and therapeutic considerations related to diagnosis of the verrucous carci...

A case of verrucous squamous cell carcinoma of the oesophagus treated with bleomycin is reported. Bleomycin brought prompt reduction of the tumour and relief of symptoms. There have been no previous reports on experience with anti-cancer agents for verrucous carcinoma of the oesophagus. Administration of bleomycin might be an effective treatment for verrucous carcinoma of the oesophagus.

INTRODUCTION Oral verrucous carcinoma is a special form of well-differentiated squamous cell carcinoma which possesses specific clinical, morphologic and cytokinetic features that differ from other types of oral cancers and hence diagnosis requires immense experience in histopathology. Hence it is certainly important to distinguish such a lesion from other oral tumors as treatment strategies va...
