Abstract

The term pseudocanceroses covers a variety of diseases that can be difficult to distinguish from true carcinomas not only clinically but also histologically. However, pseudocanceroses may not only be similar to squamous cell carcinomas but are also capable of giving rise to the latter. Therefore pseudocanceroses are also precanceroses. The histological substrate is that of a pseudocarcinomatous epithelial hyperplasia with inflammation. The following diseases are so-called pseudocanceroses:

  • Papillomatosis cutis carcinoides

  • Florid oral papillomatosis

  • Epithelioma cuniculatum

  • Condyloma acuminatum giganteum

  • Keratoacanthoma
