Verrucous carcinoma in hypertrophic lichen planus - A case report
Abstract
Abstract : A 27 years old lady presented with multiple well
defined hypertrophic plaque on both legs for 15 years and
verrucous growth on left leg for 6 months. Biopsy from the
plaque and the growth were consistant with hypertrophic
lichen planus and verrucous carcinoma respectively. Wide
excision with split skin grafting was done for the growth.
Verrucous carcinoma in lichen planus is rare and it is
probably due to constant epidermal stimulation by chronic
inflammation. Few such cases have been reported in
literature.
