title: Verrucous carcinoma of the female genital tract: a review.
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.
