Abstract

Verrucous carcinoma(VC) is regarded as a rare, histologic variant of squamous cell carcinoma (SCC). Lichen sclerosus et atrophicus(LSA) is chronic dermatosis characterized by atrophic white papules or plaques, occurring most commonly on the anogenital skin of both sexes. Genital LSA has been associated with the development of invasive carcinoma, and the most common is SCC. There have been only a few reports of VC within a lesion of penile LSA. We now report a case of VC arising in penile LSA.
