[Verrucous carcinoma of the nose and maxillary sinus].
Verrucous carcinoma is a rare type of squamous cell carcinoma that is most commonly seen in the oral cavity, and seldom in the larynx. It should be distinguished from benign papilloma, verrucous hyperplasia and well-differentiated non verrucous squamous cell carcinoma. Verrucous carcinoma is a rare tumor of the sinonasal tract. Only 28 such cases have been described in the medical literature reviewed until this time. We describe the first case in Israel of a patient with such a tumor in the nasal cavity. We reviewed the existing literature dealing with Verrucous Carcinoma of paranasal sinuses.
