Abstract
- Verrucous carcinoma is a low grade, locally aggressive variant of squamous cell carcinoma, which usually occurs on the oropharynx, genitalia and sole. Verrucous carcinoma of the anogenital area, also known as a Buschke-Loewenstein tumor, most frequently arises on the glans penis and prepuce. However, there are few case reports of verrucous carcinoma arising on the scrotum. A 61-year-old man presented with a well-circumscribed, 3x4 cm sized, round, verrucous mass on the scrotum which developed 2 years ago. He had had diabetes mellitus for 9 years, but had not been treated. A biopsy specimen taken from the tumor revealed the typical finding of verrucous carcinoma.
