10 Vulvar Cancer Symptoms
Symptom #10: Growths
Verrucous carcinoma is a type of squamous cell vulvar cancer that can present with cauliflower-like growths that are similar to genital warts. It is usually slow growing but can be locally aggressive and penetrate the skin, fascia, and bone. It can also appear to look like a large wart and a biopsy is required to determine if it is benign or malignant.
While it is a condition that can affect any part of the skin or mucosa, it is most commonly found at sites such as the oral cavity, sole, and anogenital region. Although verrucous carcinoma is an uncommon type of vulvar cancer, it is important to discover it as early as possible as it has a good prognosis for treatment and recovery.
