Verrucous carcinoma and squamous cell papilloma of the oral cavity: Report of two cases and review of literature

ABSTRACT

Verrucous carcinoma (VC) of oral cavity is a rare variant of well-differentiated squamous cell carcinoma and squamous papilloma is a benign proliferation of the stratified squamous epithelium, which results in a papillary or verrucous exophytic mass. There is a certain clinical similarity between squamous cell papilloma and VC. We presented a report of two cases which are VC and squamous cell papilloma that are showed the same clinical appearance but different pathological appearance, with a review of the literature.

Key words:

Oral cavity - squamous cell papilloma - verrucous carcinoma
