Verrucous papillary lesions (VPLs) of oral cavity are diagnostically challenging as they include a spectrum of benign, potentially malignant, and frankly malignant lesions. A majority of the benign VPLs have viral aetiology and include commonly occurring squamous papilloma along with verruca vulgaris, focal epithelial hyperplasia, and condyloma. Current understanding of potentially malignant VP...

Esophageal verrucous squamous cell carcinoma and esophageal cuniculatum are rare variants of extremely well-differentiated carcinoma. These tumors share similar risk factors clinical presentations with conventional However, these have distinct morphological features, molecular mutation profiles, outcomes. Diagnosis can be challenging, requires high suspicion, often only diagnosed on a deep muco...

Penile verrucous carcinoma is a rare, well-differentiated and low-grade tumor. The surgeons are deficiently aware about the biological behavior and the clinicopathological characteristic of this disease, which raises difficulties during the treatment. In our present study, the clinical and pathological data of 11 patients with penile verrucous carcinoma, aged between 49 to 85 years was retrospe...

Carcinoma originating in bone is uncommon; most of them apparently arise in odontogenic cysts. In this paper, we report an extremely rare case in which, verrucous carcinoma originated from an odontogenic cyst. This lesion was firm and non-tender on palpation and had a white-pink appearance. It was encased in the anterior aspect of the maxilla and exhibited microscopic features of verrucous carc...

The author herein reports a case of squamous cell carcinoma (SCC) arising within verrucous carcinoma (VC) of the hard palate. An 84-year-old woman was admitted to our hospital complaining of oral discomfort. Oral examination revealed a pedunculated verrucous tumor (15 x 15 mm) in the hard palate. A biopsy revealed verrucous tumor. Resection of the lesion with wide margins was performed. Grossly...

Proliferative verrucous leukoplakia (PVL) is a particularly aggressive form of oral leukoplakia that is resistant to treatment and presents a high risk of recurrence and malignant transformation. This article describes the microscopic and clinical characteristics of one case of PVL, which initially presented as hyperkeratosis with mild dysplasia and posteriorly developed multifocal areas and ve...

Introduction: Verrucous carcinoma is a non-metastatic variant of squamous cell carcinoma. It was first reported by Ackerman in 1948. verrucous exophytic tumor and, although it rare lesion, mainly affects the oral cavity, with slow growth and can be locally invasive. Objective: To report case present an observational retrospective analysis medical records containing biopsy data from patients dia...

The apparent rarity of verrucous carcinomas of the ear is reflected by the fact that only three well-documented cases have previously appeared in the literature. However, in other instances the diagnosis of verrucous carcinoma may have been missed because of the unfamiliarity of many clinicians and pathologists with the morphologic characteristics of these lesions. We describe the first case of...

Few patients with systemic lupus erythematosus have features of verrucous (hypertrophic) lupus erythematosus. A 29-year-old Caucasian woman with a 7-year history of systemic lupus erythematosus developed painful verrucous plaques on the nose. Erythematous, raised, indurated, hyperkeratotic plaques localized on the dorsa of the distal parts of the toes and over the interphalangeal joints of her ...

Introduction: Although recent studies show the association of eosinophils with different tumors including oral malignancies, the role of eosinophils in premalignant conditions of the oral cavity is not known precisely. Therefore, this study aimed to determine the number of eosinophils in premalignant and malignant conditions of the oral cavity and its role in progression to malignancy. Materia...
