description KEY CLINICAL MESSAGE: Well‐differentiated variant of squamous cell carcinoma. Slow growing, exophytic, cauliflower‐like growth easily confused with a viral wart. Cutaneous, anogenital, and oral variant exist. Risk factors for oral variant include alcohol and smoking. Histopathologically exhibits lobules with a pushing margin and blunt borders. ABSTRACT: Verrucous carcinoma (VC) is a low‐grade variant of squamous cell carcinoma with specific clinicopathologic features and good prognosis when affecting skin. We report the case VC of lip in a‐70‐year‐old lady. She underwent surgical excision with excellent outcomes. A brief review of the literature is provided.
