title: Verrucous carcinoma arising from an artificial vagina.
abstract: Verrucous carcinoma is a well known and extensively reported entity in the English literature. It can occur in many tissues including vaginal mucosa. The first report of this entity occuring in an artificial vagina, including typical gross and histologic features, is presented with a discussion of the literature. The best mode of therapy remains primary excision of the lesion, and prognosis is excellent if early surgical intervention is accomplished.
