Verrucous carcinoma of buccal mucosa in female: A rare case report of traumatic tooth origin
Authors

Abstract
Verrucous carcinoma or Ackermann’s tumour is
considered a low-grade variant of squamous cell carcinoma frequently presenting
at the oral mucosa and skin. Oral verrucous carcinoma clinically presents as a
proliferative or cauliflower-like lesion or as ulcer proliferative lesion on the
buccal mucosa followed by other sites such as the gingiva, tongue, and hard
palate. Tobacco in both smoking and smokeless form, alcohol, and opportunist
viral infections are the most associated etiologist in most of the reported
literature cases. Here, in this paper, we discuss a rare case scenario of a
52-year-old female diagnosed with verrucous carcinoma of the left buccal mucosa
with constant traumatic irritation caused by tooth as ethology for the
occurrence of lesion, though verrucous carcinoma is described as a benign
lesion with minimum aggressive potential but long-standing cases have shown
transformation into squamous cell carcinoma. Therefore, early diagnosis and
surgical excision of the lesion are the most appropriate treatment modality of
verrucous carcinoma.
