Introduction: Verrucous carcinoma (VC) is an epitelial malignant tumour that can occur in skin and mucosa. The etiopathogenesis of this entity remains unclear although tobacco (smokable and chewed), alcohol, virus…
Background and objectives: The incidence of oral squamous cell carcinoma (OSCC) in young (less than 40 years of age) and elderly (over 80 years of age) patients is rising. However,…
Background and objectives: Gorlin syndrome is an autosomal dominant, inherited cancer disease with a rare incidence. Diagnostic features are frequently missing in young patients, making the recognition difficult. The presence…
