Abstract

Oral verrucous carcinoma (VC) is a rare tumor, which a clinical variant of well differentiated oral squamous cell carcinoma characterized by exophytic growth or cauliflower like growth in appearance. It establishes in older individuals, who has habit of chronic tobacco chewing and predominance in males. Oral submucous fibrosis (OSMF) is a chronic, insidious, potentially malignant disorder associated with betel nut chewing habit. The development of oral squamous cell carcinoma (OSCC) is seen in one-third of the OSMF patients, but the development of VC is rarely seen in such patients. In the literature a very few cases of OSMF with VC are reported. Here, we present such a rare case in a 25 years old female patient with VC in conjunction with OSMF.
