Differential Diagnosis of Verrucous Carcinoma

Verrucous carcinoma, a rare and slow-growing type of cancer, can be challenging to diagnose due to its similarity in appearance with other conditions. The differential diagnosis for verrucous carcinoma involves ruling out other conditions that may present similarly.

Plantar Warts: Plantar warts are a common condition that can mimic the appearance of verrucous carcinoma on the feet. They are caused by the human papillomavirus (HPV) and can be mistaken for verrucous carcinoma, especially in cases where the cancer appears on the plantar surface of the foot [13].
Oral Squamous Papilloma: Oral squamous papilloma is a benign condition that can present similarly to verrucous carcinoma. It is characterized by a growth or lesion on the mucosal lining of the mouth, which can be mistaken for cancer [5].
Verrucous Hyperplasia: Verrucous hyperplasia is a condition where there is an abnormal growth of cells in the skin or mucosa. It can be difficult to distinguish from verrucous carcinoma and may require further diagnostic procedures to rule out cancer [8].
Leukoplakia: Leukoplakia is a condition characterized by white patches or lesions on the mucosal lining of the mouth. While it is not typically malignant, it can be mistaken for verrucous carcinoma in some cases [7].

Key Points

Verrucous carcinoma has a differential diagnosis that includes plantar warts, oral squamous papilloma, verrucous hyperplasia, and leukoplakia.
These conditions can present similarly to verrucous carcinoma and require further diagnostic procedures to rule out cancer.
Accurate diagnosis of verrucous carcinoma requires careful consideration of these differential diagnoses.
