case_images: On intraoral examination, nodular proliferous ulcerative growth measuring 3 x 2 centimetres was found on the alveolar mucosa near the premolar-molar region with focal areas of white spots (Figure 4).

case_images: A wide local surgical excision was planned and performed under local anaesthesia (Figure 5).
case_images: Histopathology of completely excised specimen showed verrucous configuration with a broad bulbous rete pegs with pushing margins in many areas along with features of mild dysplasia and few areas of parakeratin plugging (H&E, original magnification: x40).

case_images: In this instance, though varied clinical course of the disease was noted, the histological result of the complete surgical specimen showed features of verrucous carcinoma similar to the reports obtained during the incisional biopsy thus ruling out squamous cell carcinoma evolved from a verrucous carcinoma (Figure 6).
