Abstract

Verrucous carcinoma is a relatively rare variant of well differentiated squamous cell carcinoma first described by Ackerman in 1948. It is distinct in its slow progression, exophytic cauliflower like growth, low grade malignancy and low incidence of metastasis. The oral cavity is one of the predilection sites for verrucous carcinoma. In the oral cavity, the gingiva and buccal mucosa are the common site. Verrucous carcinoma of the lip is clinically quite rare and only several cases of that were reported in the world. The aim of this study is to report an unusual case of verrucous carcinoma of the lower lip.
