Proliferative verrucous leukoplakia, squamous cell carcinoma and axillary metastasis

Proliferative verrucous leukoplakia (PVL) is an aggressive form of oral leukoplakia with multifocal presentation,high rates of recurrence and malignant transformation. Although development of regional lymph node metastasisis relatively frequent in patients with oral squamous cell carcinoma, axillary metastasis is quite uncommon.
