DOI: https://doi.org/Verrucous carcinoma is an unusual subtype of squamous cell carcinoma that can arise in several locations throughout the body. Its prognosis after treatment is relatively good. A 73-year-old woman was diagnosed with verrucous carcinoma of her palm, treated with wide local excision and free anterolateral thigh flap. The tumor was eight years old and had resisted prior treatment. involvement of bone and lymph node metastasis. Correct diagnosis is important because verrucous carcinoma has different behaviour and treatment than the conventional squamous cell carcinoma. Amputation with or without surgical management is performed in case of disabling functional impairment or bone invasion. There is no use of electrodesiccation and radiation therapy. More studies are needed to find the best treatment for verrucous carcinoma.
