INTRODUCTION: The nosology of verrucous carcinomas is a complicated problem. The name given to each manifestation may vary with localization. We report our findings in four cases with this skin disease.
CASE REPORTS: Four patients, 76, 52, 76 and 55 years of age, presented with verrucous carcinoma. In the first case, the disease began with a chronic varicose ulceration localized on the anterolateral aspect of the right leg. In the second, the lesion was localized on the lateral aspect of the right leg facing a zone showing signs of repeated microtraumatisms. HPV-18 was isolated in this patient. The third case had a vegetating lesion on the dorsal aspect of the right hand, simulating a wart. The fourth case is a historic case in which a voluminous tumour developed over several years on an ulceration of the medial aspect of the left malleole, associated with trauma and venous insufficiency.
COMMENTS: The three recent cases did not raise any particular problem with diagnosis. The diagnosis in the historical case, published in 1969 as a vegetating pyoderma, was corrected later. This illustrates the nosology problems raised in this particular form of epidermoid carcinoma which often has an impressive clinical presentation and a reassuring histology. The group of verrucous carcinomas include different skin or mucosal lesions formerly designated as oral florid papillomatosis, Buschke-Löwenstein acuminate condyloma or pseudo-epitheliomatous vegetating pyoderma. Cuniculatum epithelioma was added to this group for simplification although this rarely observed lesion is a separate entity.
CONCLUSION: The pathology diagnosis of verrucous carcinoma requires large and deep biopsy. Treatment is surgical and regular follow-up is needed as for all malignant tumours.
