J Dermatol Surg Oncol. 1988 May;14(5):547-51. doi: 10.1111/j.1524-4725.1988.tb01150.x.

Abstract

Verrucous carcinoma is a low-grade squamous cell carcinoma. Chronic inflammation is an important factor in its pathogenesis. This is the first case of plantar verrucous carcinoma arising in a lesion of ulcerative lichen planus. This paper also lends further support to the successful use of Mohs micrographic surgical technique as the treatment of choice for verrucous carcinoma.
