“…For the histological diagnosis, large and deeper biopsy should be performed to ensure that no malignant cytological characteristics are missed in supericially biopsied specimens. Microscopic features are thick stratum corneum, marked papillary proliferation, tendency to deep invasion, with displacement of surrounding tissues, negligible cellular atypia and a low mitotic rate [25,28]. Similar features are also seen in verrucous carcinoma.…”

They do not progress to squamous carcinoma with the possible, very rare exception of giant condyloma acuminata of Buschke and Lowenstein, a locally invasive verrucous carcinoma [ 69 ] (see Malignant Disease chapter).…”
