Verrucous Carcinoma

Verrucous carcinoma is a distinct variety, comprising about 2.5%–4% of all squamous cell carcinoma in oral cavity and is relatively uncommon. Its occurrence in tongue is rare. It most commonly occurs after fifth decade, in individuals with adverse habits of tobacco and alcohol. VC has excellent prognosis due to its benign indolent tumour behaviour and metastasis to regional lymph nodes is very rare. By: https://casereports.bmj.com/content/2017/bcr-2017-219784
