Verrucous carcinoma is a rare skin malignancy of squamous cell
origin. It is characterised by negligible cellular atypia and a low
mitotic rate. These are reflected in slow locally invasive behaviour
and very infrequent metastatic spread. The tumour is also recognised in
oral and anogenital sites. Cutaneous lesions present most commonly on
the sole of the foot. We report a unique case occurring in the female breast.
