Abstract
Verrucous carcinoma or Ackermann’s tumor 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 ulceroproliferative 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 etiologies 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 etiology 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.
