Abstract:
Epithelioma cuniculatum or plantar verrucous carcinoma shows a great tendency toward deep penetrating growth, resulting in numerous crypts filled with horny material and pus. We herein described a 44 year-old female who showed a warty, relatively round, brown to yellow colored protruding mass with many crypts filled with pus-like exudates, measuring 2.3 X 2.5 X 1.5 cm in size, and of 5 years duration. The biopsy specimen taken from the tumor mass revealed a deeply penetrating, well-differentiated squarnous cell carcinoma without nuclear anaplasia and individual cell keratinization.
