A case of verrucous carcinoma (epithelioma cuniculatum) of the heel mimicking infected epidermal cyst and gout.

Verrucous carcinoma is a rare variant of well-differentiated squamous cell carcinoma. It usually occurs in the oral cavity, genital area, and sole. Verrucous carcinoma of the sole, also called epithelioma cuniculatum, often presents a diagnostic challenge both clinically and histopathologically. The authors report such a case that mimics infected epidermal cyst and gout clinically.
