Abstract:

Carcinoma cuniculatum is a high differentiated squamous cell carcinoma. It is diffuse and local destructive growing pattern can sometimes lead to impressive tissue destruction and subsequent mortality. Clinically it can be mistaken for benign entities like Pyoderma vegetans. For correct diagnosis and good treatment outcome, a correct and early diagnosis is urgent. A patient case is presented, where patient delay and insufficient patient history resulted in misdiagnosis and a fatal treatment outcome.
