Warty (condylomatous) carcinoma of the back: a case report

Warty carcinoma (WC), known as condylomatous carcinoma, generally derives from genito-urethral area. Its symbolic lesion is the exophytic and verruciform mass associated with human papillomavirus infection. A 90-year-old female presented with growing cauliflower-like mass in her back. A wide excision was performed for two masses. It was finally confirmed as WC throughout histopathological findings—arborescent papillomatosis, hyperkeratosis and acanthosis. The patient was an ordinary housewife and there was no recurrence and any postoperative complication 6 month after the surgery. Accordingly, careful physical examination and history-taking as well as wide-excision securing safety margin are essential, especially for senile patients.
