Note(s)This section has been translated automatically.
The term "carcinoma cuniculatum" is increasingly losing its meaning after florid oral papillomatosis together with florid oral papillomatosis, papillomatosis cutis carcinoides and condylomata gigantea were combined into the term "verrucous carcinoma of the skin/mucosa". In the literature, the terms are sometimes used synonymously, sometimes listed separately (histological distinction between carcinoma cuniculatum and verrucous carcinoma is possible). In dermatological literature, carcinoma cuniculatum (derived from cuniculus, meaning rabbit hole) is predominantly associated with infestation of the skin of the groin (sole of the foot/toe) on the basis of location.
