Rev Esp Cirug Oral y Maxilofac [online]. 2021, vol.43, n.2, pp.67-70. Epub 13-Sep-2021. ISSN 2173-9161. https://dx.doi.org/10.20986/recom.2021.1157/2020.
The World Health Organization recognizes oral carcinoma cuniculatum as a rare and well-diferenciated clinicopathological variant of oral squamous cell carcinoma. The proliferation of stratified squamous epithelium and its infiltration into underlying stroma forms a complex pattern of keratin cores and keratin filled crypts which looks like a "rabbit burrow" or "cuniculi" from the latin. We describe the main characteristics of this entity and we report a case of oral carcinoma cuniculatum of the buccal left mucosa treated with resection and sentinel lymph node biopsy.
Palabras clave : Carcinoma cuniculatum oral; selective biopsy of the sentinel node; epitelioma cuniculatum.
