Abstract
Verrucous carcinoma can be observed in the genital part, nasal fossa and esophagus in addition to the larynx and oral cavity that is more commonly seen in men. Verrucous carcinoma of the ear is an extremely rare and special form of squamous cell carcinoma. There are only tree cases well documented in the literature related to the rarely observed verrucous carcinoma of the ear. We have described two cases of verrucous carcinoma on the tract. In etiology, tobacco and alcohol abuse and bad mouth hygiene have been put forward as the causes. Its diagnosis is rather difficult because while it may display invasive characteristic clinically, it may not give any malignity findings histologically and especially cytologically. Verrucous carcinomas exhibit low degree malignity biologically. A close cooperation between the surgeon and the pathologist is required in order to prevent mistaken diagnosis. Most resorted treatment method of verrucous carcinoma is surgery. However in the recent years, there have been treatment reports in the literature with the methods like suction, diathermy, cryosurgery and laser surgery. In this study, two male patients diagnosed with ‘‘Verrucous Carcinoma'' and age 45 and 26 respectively were involved and the literature was reviewed.

Özet
Verrüköz karsinomalı sıklıkla genital bölge, nazal kavite, larenks, oral kavite ve özefagusda görülür. Erkeklerde kadınlara göre daha fazla izlenmektedir. Verrüköz karsinoma skuamöz hücreli karsinomanın özel bir formudur ve kulakta son derece nadir görülür. Literatürde kulakta verrüköz karsinomlu üç olgu bulunmaktadır. Etiyolojisinde sigara ve alkol kullanımı ile kötü oral hijyen rol oynamaktadır. Kliniğinin invaziv karakterde olması histolojik ve sitolojik olarak malignensi özelliklerini göstermemesi nedeni ile tanı konulması zor bir patolojidir. Verruköz karsinomaların biyolojik davranışı düşük dereceli maligniteler gibidir. Verruköz karsinomalar cerrahi olarak tedavi edilmekle birlikte son yıllarda suction benzeri metotlar, diathermi, krioterapi ve laserle yapılan tedavi seçenekleri de literatürde yer almaya başlamıştır. Bu çalışmada ‘‘Verrucous Carcinoma'' tanısı almış 45 ve 26 yaşlarında ki iki erkek hastayı literatür bilgilerinide gözden geçirilerek sunuldu.
