[Verrucous carcinoma of the cervix]

An extremely rare case of verrucous carcinoma of the uterine cervix is reported. The most outstanding pathologic feature of this malignant tumor is the benign picture of the proliferative squamous epithelium, with remarkable hyperkeratosis and dyskeratosis. Therefore it is difficult for the pathologist to make an accurate diagnosis on the basis of the biopsy material. Surgery may be best treatment of this special tumor for its behavior of slow invasiveness and rare metastasis.
