Abstract:
Verrucous carcinoma is a low grade and well-differentiated, unusual variant of squamous cell carcinoma. It is a slowly-growing, fungating and verrucous tumor that may penetrate deep into the tissue. In contrast to its malignant clinical feature, the tumor tends to invade locally and metastasize rarely. In addition, it has benign histologic features. It usually occurs on the oropharynx, anogenital and plantar areas. Herein, we report an unusual case of verrucous carcinoma occurring on the triangular fossa of the auricle in a 51-year-old man.
