Abstract

Histopathological diagnosis is a cornerstone in oncology, guiding treatment decisions and pati ent management. Clinically, the exophyt-
ic, caulifl ower-like appearance of Verrucous Carcinoma (VC) oft en masks its malignant potenti al, leading to potenti al misdiagnosis. We
report a case of VC which explores the nuances of diagnosing VC on
histopathology, shedding light on the challenges and strategies for accurate identi fi cati on.
