Abstract
Oral squamous cell carcinoma and verrucous carcinoma are the most common malignant neoplasms of the oral mucosa. The prevalence of these malignancies is quite high in the northern states of India possibly due to tobacco chewing in the form of pan, gutkha, zardar etc. Despite its frequency and multitudes of treatment modalities, the mortality is still on the higher side because of increased rates of early distant metastasis. HPV is also uncommon etiological agent in oral carcinoma and it is more closely related to oropharyngeal cancers than oral cancers, possibly in those areas where two epithelium intersects and basal cells are more exposed. This study relates oral squamous cell carcinoma and verrucous carcinoma with various clinical parameters like age, gender, size of tumor, site of tumor and differentiation of the tumor.
