Abstract:
Oral Carcinoma cuniculatum(OCC) is rare variant of squamous cell carcinoma. The histopathological features of this type of carcinoma makes it special in the literature of Pathology. The appearance of deep invading epithelial islands with pool of keratin cores very similar to rabbit burrows gives the term cuniculatum to the carcinoma. Here we present a case of OCC on the lateral surface of the tongue. Early diagnosis of such case is very important to distinguish it distinctly from the other entities of squamous cell carcinoma like verrucous carcinoma. The knowledge of existence of such entity of squamous cell carcinoma occurring in the oral cavity is very important to facilitate correct treatment planning and management.
