Abstract
- Verrucous carcinoma is a relatively non-aggressive, slowly growing, low grade squamous cell carcinoma with little tendency to metastasize. It typically occurs on the oropharynx, genitalia and palmoplantar areas. Until now, there have been several case reports of this tumor occurring on the oral cavity, penile area, sole and lower leg in Korean literature. However, its occurrence on the preauricular area is extremely rare. Herein we report a case of verrucous carcinoma developed on the right preauricular region in a 67-year-old man.
