A case of oral florid papillomatosis

Abstract

Oral florid papillomatosis of oral muocsa is a relatively rare entity that may resemble malignant tumor (verrucous carcinoma). It should be regarded as premalignant eventuating in verrucous carcinoma. Its radical treatment is very difficult because of wide spread of lesion.
We recently experienced extended oral florid papillomatosis from the right and left buccal mucosa, palate upper and lower gingiva in 74 year-old woman. BLM (total dose 75 mg) and MTX (1000mg) were mainly given as the chemotherapy. As a result, the tumor was greatly reduced and dysfunction was minimized due to operation.
The case was reported with some coments based on past literature.
