ABSTRACT
Verrucous carcinoma is an unusual, non-metastasizing, distinct variant of squamous cell carcinoma composed of four subtypes according to the site of occurrence oral type, anogenital type, plantar type, and other cutaneous sites. Oral type verrucous carcinoma usually shows slow progression with a low incidence of metastases. Treatment of verrcous carcinoma is challenging; multiple medical and surgical therapies are often attempted, with limited success. We reported on 2 cases of verrucous carcinoma of the lip treated with topical imiquimod and debulking therapy.
