| Popis: | A 56-year-old male was referred for evaluation of tooth mobility and bone destruction in the anterior mandible. The patient was submitted to removal of tooth 34 three months before. Medical history revealed no alcohol, tobacco intake, or any systemic disease. The clinical examination showed mobility of teeth 33 and 35 and the presence of an infiltrative lesion associated with white plaques in the gingiva and alveolar mucosa of the region. The panoramic and periapical radiographs showed irregular bone destruction in the region of teeth 33 and 35. Clinical diagnosis was squamous cell carcinoma, and an incisional biopsy was performed. Histologic analysis of the specimen was compatible with carcinoma cuniculatum. The patient was submitted for surgical resection of the lesion, and the analysis of the surgical specimen confirmed the diagnosis of carcinoma cuniculatum. The patient has been under clinical and radiographic follow-up for 4 months without evidence of local recurrence. |
