A verrucous carcinoma is a subtype of well‐differentiated squamous‐cell carcinomas, arising in the vagina, vulva, and uterine cervix. But a verrucous carcinoma very rarely arises in the uterine endometrium. The present paper presents a case of a verrucous carcinoma of the endometrium that is described in association with the tumor marker SCC; this paper also includes a review of the relevant literature.
