A Case of Verrucous Carcinoma with Subcutaneous Abscess on the Buttock / 대한피부과학회지

Verrucous carcinoma is an uncommon low-grade variant of squamous cell carcinoma. It is clinically characterized by its verrucous and fungating appearance and it is histologically characterized by well-differentiated epithelial proliferations that push the underlying dermis. There are some reports of verrucous carcinoma associated with abscess or fistula, but there have been no case reports of verrucous carcinoma complicated with a subcutaneous abscess involving the adjacent tissue in Korea. We report here on a case of verrucous carcinoma that presented with focal verrucous nodule infiltrating the adjacent subcutaneous tissue with diffuse subcutaneous abscess formation.
