Introduction:
This case focuses on the successful surgical treatment of verrucous carcinoma, a rare and slow-growing form of squamous cell carcinoma, emphasizing the importance of early diagnosis and comprehensive surgical intervention.
Background:
The patient presented with a large, warty growth on the skin, which was diagnosed as verrucous carcinoma. The lesion had caused local discomfort and raised concerns due to its aggressive, but typically non-metastatic, growth pattern.
Intervention:
A wide local excision was performed to remove the tumor, ensuring clear margins to minimize the risk of recurrence. The surgery was meticulously planned to remove the affected tissue while preserving surrounding healthy structures.
Outcome:
The excision was successful, with no signs of recurrence at follow-up. The patient healed well with minimal scarring, and the cosmetic outcome was favorable, improving the patient’s confidence and quality of life.
Conclusion:
This case demonstrates the importance of early surgical intervention for verrucous carcinoma. With appropriate management, patients can achieve excellent outcomes in terms of both physical health and cosmetic appearance.
