Fig. 1 (A) External clinical photographs of the presenting patient showing a 5 × 5-mm-sized mass consisting of a dome-shaped base, horn-shaped top and hyperkeratinized tip in the right medial canthal area. (B) Twenty days after the initial exam, the mass has increased in height. (C) The completely excised mass reveals superficial hyperkeratosis and "elephant feet-like" downgrowth (black arrows) compressing the underlying connective tissue (H&E, ×10). (D) Note the expansile, pushing border (white arrows), which is a diagnostic feature of verrucous carcinoma (H&E, ×100). (E) High-power view demonstrates well-differentiated squamous epithelium with minimal atypia in some area (dotted circle) (H&E, ×400). (F) Good functional and esthetic results were observed at 7 months after surgery.
