Abstract

Oral verrucous carcinoma is slow growing tumor and it is a variant of squamous cell carcinoma. It generally affects the oral cavity and most commonly involves buccal mucosa region. Clinically it reveals a typical cauliflower growth or exophytic finger like projections. It is more common in males with a history of habit of tobacco use. It has a tendency to become locally aggressive if not treated appropriately. After excision it may result in a large defect in the oral mucosa. Hence, there is need to innovate new methods for the treatment of these lesions. This is a case report of 70 year old female with verrucous carcinoma of right buccal mucosa which was successfully managed conservatively with local excision and reconstruction with a buccal fat pad graft was described.
