“…Besides, CVC can occur secondary to a variety of chronic skin conditions such as lupus vulgaris, lichen planus, sclerosing lichen planus, lichen simplex chronicus, lupus erythematosus, erythema elevatum diutinum, actinic keratosis, scars, ulcers, hidradenitis suppurativa, and pilonidal sinus. 15,23 -34 These also further suggest the role of chronic inflammation may be involved in the pathogenesis.…”

“…We reviewed 26 publications with a total of 115 patients with CVC and found that 19 patients recurred with a prevalence of 16.5% and a mean age of 59.6 years (range 38-91), 16 of whom (16/19,84.2%) within 2 years (2, 24 months) after surgery, however, one patient recurred at 26 months after surgery, and two patients were not available. 4 -6,11,12,15,27,30,35,36,42,47,49,62,68,73,74,77,84 -91 Of the recorded data on recurrence, there were 10 cases in men (10/16, 62.5%) and 6 cases in women (6/16, 37.5%). The majority (10/19 patients) of the recurrent cases were located on the foot, one each on the lower leg, axilla, ankle, and hand, in addition to five cases not documented.…”

Verrucous carcinoma (VC) is a relatively rare locally aggressive, slow-growing, well-differentiated squamous cell carcinoma with minimal metastatic potential and is most frequent in the mucosa. Although rarely reported on the skin, cutaneous verrucous carcinomas (CVC) can appear anywhere, most commonly on the feet. However, clinical and pathologic diagnosis of CVC has been confusing and challenging. It can easily be mistaken for benign or more malignant conditions such as giant condyloma acuminata, keratoacanthoma, and pseudoepithelioma-like hyperplasia or squamous cell carcinoma, resulting in inappropriate management. In this review, we describe the different aspects associated with CVC, including its pathogenesis and clinicopathologic features. The available evidence for the differential diagnosis and treatment of CVC is discussed, and specific management recommendations are made. After the treatment, careful follow-up examinations of the excised area should be performed at regular intervals.

“…1,4 Although it is associated with trauma, it is unusual for verrucous carcinoma to arise from a burn scar. 5 In this report, we presented an unusual case of an HIVpositive patient who presented with verrucous carcinoma of the scalp which arose from a burn scar. We were not able to exclude HPV viral carcinogenesis or immunodeficiency due to HIV infection as confounding etiological factors in this case.…”

“…1,4 A Marjolin's ulcer occurs in 1-2% of all thermal burns and is a rare but well described phenomenon. 5 Histologically, verrucous carcinoma has a benign appearance with minimal atypia and few mitoses. 4 It has a "pushing border" whereby surrounding tissue is compressed without true stromal invasion.…”
