Verrucous carcinoma (VC) otherwise known Ackerman’s tumor is a distinct variety of epidermoid carcinoma with characteristic clinical presentation, behavior and histological features. It usually presents as a hyperplastic epithelium, abundant keratin superficially with a church-spire keratosis and also presenting parakeratin plugging which is characteristic of this VC. Oral squamous cell carcino...

BACKGROUND The diagnosis and treatment of a variety of non-plaque related gingival diseases have become an integrated aspect of everyday dentistry. The aim of this study was to analyse the relationship between clinical appearance and histopathological features of gingival lesions in a large Northern Italian population. MATERIAL AND METHODS A retrospective study of 788 cases of gingival and al...

Verrucous carcinoma is a rare, extremely well differentiated squamous carcinoma with low clinical malignant potential first described in 1948 in the oral cavity [1]. Since then, it has been described in other sites, such as the anus, penis, and the female genitalia [1]. Based on the literature, verrucous carcinoma accounts for approximately 3-8% of all penile cancers and 20% of verruciform lesi...

Introduction:  Biliary atresia (BA) is the most common cause of neonatal jaundice, for which surgery is indicated. It may lead to portal hypertension and esophageal varices. Sometimes, BA is related to other congenital anomalies and malformation, while a coexistence of BA with facial hemangioma has not been reported, yet. Infantile hemangioma is a childhood benign vascular tumor. Beta bloc...

INTRODUCTION Oral verrucous carcinoma (OVC) is a rare malignancy of the oral cavity that was first described by Ackerman. This tumor is a well-differentiated low-grade, slow growing cancer that is locally invasive without metastasis. Ameloblastoma is one of the most common odontogenic tumors, which originates from the odontogenic epithelium. Verrucous carcinoma along with central ambloblastoma ...

Verrucous carcinoma has a special propensity to mimic benign lesions of the oral cavity. A case of the oral verrucous carcinoma in maxillary alveolar ridge, extending to buccal vestibule, cheek, and labial mucosa, which was diagnosed and initially treated as chronic candidiasis, is presented. Clinical, histopathological, and therapeutic considerations related to diagnosis of the verrucous carci...

A case of verrucous squamous cell carcinoma of the oesophagus treated with bleomycin is reported. Bleomycin brought prompt reduction of the tumour and relief of symptoms. There have been no previous reports on experience with anti-cancer agents for verrucous carcinoma of the oesophagus. Administration of bleomycin might be an effective treatment for verrucous carcinoma of the oesophagus.

INTRODUCTION Oral verrucous carcinoma is a special form of well-differentiated squamous cell carcinoma which possesses specific clinical, morphologic and cytokinetic features that differ from other types of oral cancers and hence diagnosis requires immense experience in histopathology. Hence it is certainly important to distinguish such a lesion from other oral tumors as treatment strategies va...
