Abstract

Verrucous carcinoma (VC), a rare subtype of squamous cell carcinoma (SCC), is distinct due to its unique clinical and histopathological characteristics Unlike conventional SCC, VC is characterized by a slow growth rate, locally aggressive behaviour, and a limited tendency for distant metastasis. However, it remains a clinical concern due to its potential to transform into invasive SCC. Materials and Methods:The research focused on cases diagnosed between 2017 and 2024, involving patients with verrucous carcinoma (VC), verrucous carcinoma transforming into squamous cell carcinoma (SCC), and proliferative verrucous leukoplakia. The hospital's database served as the primary source of patient data for this study, offering access to clinical records, histopathological findings, and other relevant diagnostic information.Results : Out of 60 cases in the dataset, 58 (96.7%) were valid and included in the analysis, while 2 cases (3.3%) had missing data. This high percentage of valid cases ensures the reliability of the findings.
