Abstract

Papillary Squamous Cell Carcinoma (PSCC) is a less frequent subtype of Squamous Cell Carcinoma (SCC) with a more favorable prognosis compared to conventional oral squamous cell carcinoma. PSCC has a distinctive exophytic and papillary projection. The upper aerodigestive tract is the most commonly affected site with a higher incidence of occurrence in the larynx. The papillary variant of oral squamous cell carcinoma involving gingiva or alveolar ridge is relatively uncommon and less reported. Other differential diagnosis of papillary gingival masses is reactive gingival lesions and fungal infections. An accurate diagnosis is vital for both therapeutic and prognostic purposes. This article describes the case of papillary variant oral squamous cell carcinoma in a 75-year-old male in the maxillary alveolar region depicting histopathological features of exophytic growth with hyperplastic stratified squamous epithelium with basaloid cells invading the underlying connective tissue.
