Verrucous carcinoma is a form of epidermoid carcinoma of the oral cavity, the typical ora lesion differs from the usual oral epidermoid carcinoma in that it is generally slow growing chiefly exophytic and superficially invasive at least until
late

This article is a case report of verrucous carcinoma from left side mental portion to right mandibular posteriors, age 75 female with chief complaint of severe masticational inability due to large tumor mass in the oral cavity.
For the treatment the author performed combination chemotherapy with cisplatin and 5-fluorouracil infusion of two cycles before surgical excision, and then the lesions showing partial response of tumor size were removed completely and one more
cycle
combination chemotherapy applied by same procedures after surgery.
Postoperatively the results showed good prognosis without recurrence signs at present.
But the prognosis heeds to investigate by periodic examinations.
