Oral verrucous carcinoma is a low-grade subtype of oral squamous cell carcinoma that should be differentiated from oral verrucous hyperplasia, a premalignant lesion. Stromal activated myofibroblasts known as cancer-associated fibroblasts have an active role in the initiation and progression of the cancers via secretion of different molecules including matrix metalloproteinases.
