Aim: To enlighten and update the clinicians about the diagnosis and management of recurrent verrucous carcinoma. Presentation of Case: A single case of Oral verrucous carcinoma of the alveolar ridge is reported. The patient was treated by surgical resection of the lesion there was neither local recurrence nor distant metastasis observed. Conclusion: Oral verrucous carcinoma (OVC) is type of well differentiated squamous cell carcinoma. OVC generally is a slow grower and has a higher chance of local invasion then metastasis. Buccal mucosa and gingiva (usually mandibular) are the sites most commonly affected, and majority of the patients tend to be elderly and male. Surgical resection with sufficient safety margin is recommended.
