Abstract
Abstract: Verrucous carcinoma is a rare, locally invasive, well differentiated, low-grade squamous cell carcinoma. It follows a chronic course and mimics a variety of skin lesions and delaying diagnosis. There are scanty references about this tumour in the literature arising from dorsum of foot in post leprotic lesion of skin. We here with present a case of verrucous carcinoma arising from dorsum of foot in a 60year old patient with past history of leprosy. We are presenting this case because of its rarity and atypical presentation.
