Abstract:
Verrucous carcinoma, also known as oral florid papillomatosis, is characterized by relentless local persistence, little tendency to metastasis and failure to respond to treatment. The disease is encountered in dermatological clinic as well as dental or otolaryngological clinics. The present case, a 57-year-old man, was first diagnosed as oral lichen planus and eventually developed verrucous carcinoma involving most of the oral mucous membrane including the lower lip and entire gum. Various treatment modalities were done only to result in failures. The overall course of the case for 10 years is reported.
