title: Carcinoma cuniculatum originating from intertriginous lesions.
abstract: Three cases of long-standing carcinoma cuniculatum originating from intertriginous lesions, which resembled athlete's foot in their initial stages, were reported. The authors suggest cutaneous malignancy to be considered in the differential diagnosis of intertriginous lesions unresponsive to usual therapeutic measures.
