Verrucous Carcinoma of the Female Genital Tract

Abstract

The 102 cases of verrucous carcinoma of the female genital tract reported in the world literature have been reviewed. The difficulties in diagnosis of this tumor are discussed; correct diagnosis is heavily dependent on close collaboration between clinician and pathologist, and the provision to the latter of a sufficiently large biopsy specimen. Effective management requires surgical resection, which may at times need to be radical. Radiotherapy and chemotherapy are of doubtful value.
