Verrucous Hyperplasia Case report and differential diagnosis
Journal Title: Sultan Qaboos University Medical Journal - Year 2017, Vol 17, Issue 1
Abstract
Verrucous hyperplasia (VH) is a rare exophytic oral mucosal lesion which can transform into verrucous carcinoma (VC), its malignant but clinically similar counterpart. Tese entities can be distinguished by the lack of invasive growth in VH cases; as such, it is essential to include a margin with adequate depth when performing a biopsy of the epithelium of the lesion. We report an 80-year-old male patient who presented to the Bapuji Dental College & Hospital, Davangere, Karanataka, India, in 2011 with a warty whitish-pink growth on the inside of his cheek. Te patient was treated with wide surgical excision of the lesion and a diagnosis of VH was made based on histopathological features. Tere was no evidence of recurrence at a fve-year follow-up. Tis report highlights the histological variations, pathogenesis and differential diagnosis of VH.
