Abstract : Oral verrucous carcinoma is a low-grade form of squamous cell carcinoma that commonly appears on the skin and oral mucosa. Clinically, it appears as an ulcer proliferative lesion on the buccal mucosa, further seen on other sites like the gingiva, tongue, and hard palate, or as a proliferative or cauliflower-like lesion [1]. Due to its distinct biologic behaviour, it is a separate entity from oral cavity SCC [2]. VC generally affects people who chew tobacco, smoke, or use snuff. In 1948, Ackerman was the first to define this lesion as a distinct entity [3].

Keywords : Ackermann Tumor, Verrucous Carcinoma.
