title: Carcinoma cunniculatum on the shoulder: an atypical localisation of a verrucous carcinoma.
abstract: Carcinoma cunniculatum is a rarely occurring type of verrucous carcinoma (VC) which is considered a low-grade variant of squamous cell carcinoma. The tumour usually appears in the oral, genitogluteal, and plantar region; however, potentially it can arise anywhere on the skin. Carcinoma cunniculatum on the shoulder is a very rare manifestation with only two cases being reported in the literature. In this communication we report a case of carcinoma cunniculatum on the left shoulder.
