ABSTRACT

The oral florid papillomatosis can evolve into a verrucous carcinoma of oral mucosa, that appears in older people and related with the infection due tohuman papilloma virus. Its characteristics are chronic lesions, vegetating or verrucous, of a pink color and which are sometimes covered with a yello-wish pseudo-membrane.
Clinical case: A 65-year-old female patient that presented verrucous and ulcerative lesions for more than 3 years that affected all the hard palate,associated with the recent loss of two molars is reported. In other areas of the oral cavity the lesions were pink, verrucous, and covered with a yello-wish-like membrane. The practice of a CT confirmed the destruction of the floor of the maxillary sinus with penetration of an expansive process that inthe histologic study was confirmed as infiltrating epidermoid carcinoma, secondary to oral florid papillomatosis.
Conclusion: The mucous infections by HPV are illnesses with a clear potential of malignancy, reason why a close eye should be kept on them, a treat-ment being indicated that directs toward the complete resolution of the clinical pattern as long as the evolution of the process and the clinical condi-tion of the patient permit it.
