Carcinoma verrucoso: Uma variante clínico-histopatológica do carcinoma espinocelular

Abstract

Verrucous carcinoma is a rare and indolent variant of the squamous cell carcinoma described by Ackerman in 1948. The oral cavity is a most common site. Clinically, it presents most often as a slow-growing verrucous lesion. The prognosis is good. Treatment of choice is surgery. Patients require frequent reevaluation because recurrences may occur. ©2004 by Anais Brasileiros de Dermatologia.
