Verrucous herpes of the scrotum presenting clinically as verrucous squamous cell carcinoma: case report and review of the literature.

We report a case of a 36-year-old man with acquired immunodeficiency syndrome (AIDS) and an enlarging scrotal mass presumed to be of malignant origin but found to be a rare instance of verrucous herpes simplex type 2 infection of the scrotum. We also review the literature on this subject and discuss pathogenesis of the disease.
