Abstract
Verrucous carcinoma, a variant form of well-cliff erented squamous cell carcinoma, was first described by Ackerman in 1948. In Japan, 52 cases were reported by Asaumi et al. in 1990.
In this paper, we reported 3 more cases of verrucous carcinoma (buccal mucosa, tongue and lower gum) . Two cases, occurring in buccal mucosa and tongue, were resected, while the other case, occurring in the lower gum was treated by laser cutting and vaporization.
In the case of such a tumor, chemotherapy and radiation therapy is not commonly applied because of the frequent occurrence of anaplastic transformation. In our cases, surgical treatment was selected and local control was possible.
