Abstract:
Verrucous carcinoma is a low-grade squamous cell carcinoma first described in 1948 by Ackerman. It is a slowly growing, fungating and verrucous tumor that may penetrate deep into the tissue. There are many causative agents such as HPV infection, chronic irritation, radiation, and etc. We report a case of verrucous carcinoma developed at the wrist joint, a relatively unusual site.
