Description
Anupriyaa A and co-authors report a warty skin cancer growing out of a precancerous patch on a patient's lower back, in a 2025 case report. Verrucous squamous cell carcinoma is a slow, locally aggressive tumor, usually unrelated to HPV and demanding wide excision. Bowen's disease is its in-situ cousin, often virus-linked and sun-related, sometimes treatable without surgery. The two rarely share a lesion.
Here the verrucous tumor arose within Bowen's disease at a site unusual for both. Surgeons removed it widely and rebuilt the area with a Limberg flap. Microscopy confirmed the double diagnosis. The authors urge pathologists and surgeons to expect dual pathology in odd-looking lesions, because the pair changes the operation.
