| الوصف: | Verrucous carcinoma is a well-recognized low-grade variant of squamous cell carcinoma. Cutaneous, oral, and anogenital forms exist. Exposure to persistent chronic irritation, inflammation, and repeated injury, as well as carcinogenic agents such as human papillomavirus infection, smoking, and alcohol use, are established risk factors. These neoplasms occur mostly in the oral cavity. The usual extraoral sites include the larynx, esophagus, genitals, and perineum. It is an extremely uncommon site of occurrence for the extraoral chin region. This unusual location makes the index case unique. Other uncommon sites reported include finger and foot. Case studies of verrucous carcinoma with huge tumor sizes are rare. Although it can be destructive locally, verrucous carcinoma typically does not spread to distant sites. Wide surgical excision with free margins is the most common treatment approach with a favorable prognosis. These tumors are likely to recur if they are incompletely excised, and recurred lesions tend to be more aggressive clinically as compared to their original counterparts. Herein, the authors describe a case of a huge oral verrucous carcinoma localized on the chin of a 43-year-old female patient. The clinical course, diagnostics, and proposed treatment have been discussed with the existing available literature. |
