Oral Carcinoma Cuniculatum (OCC) corresponds to a rare, well-differentiated variant of Oral Squamous Cell Carcinoma (OSCC) first included in the World Health Organization (WHO) Classification of Head and Neck tumors in 2005. According to the WHO, OCC is defined as a malignant neoplastic proliferation of stratified squamous epithelium in broad processes with keratin cores and keratin-filled crypts which seem to burrow into the bone, without obvious cytological features of malignancy. 1 It is estimated that OCC accounts for up to 2.7% of all OSCC. 2 Up to date, less than 60 cases have been reported. Here we report an unsual case of an oral carcinoma cuniculatum affecting the gingiva of a child.An 11-year-old boy was consulted because of local pain and paresthesia of the left lower lip during an unknown amount of time. He had a history of grade II ependymoma, which was appropriately treated with surgery and radiotherapy and controlled routinely. He had no systemic symptoms, known allergies or medical history of any other illness. Extraoral examination revealed no anomalies. Intraorally, a mass involving both the buccal and lingual gingiva between the lower left second molar and lower left first premolar was observed. An extensive verrucous white patch was covering the buccal side of the mass, while cystic-like white nodules with superficial blood vessels were also present on both the lingual and buccal sides of the tumor (Fig. 1). The teeth involved in the mass were mobile. Cone-beam computed tomography revealed a well-defined large radiolucency involving the whole thickness of the posterior left mandible perforating the buccal bone plate (Fig. 2). An incisional biopsy was taken which showed a tumoral mass composed of multiple branching keratin-filled crypts sheets lined by epidermoid epithelial cells. The endophytic epithelial growth pattern burrowed deep inside into the alveolar bone, forming a complex network of connected canaliculi, resembling rabbit burrows. The epithelial cells were well differentiated, and no atypia, mitosis, perineural nor lymphovascular invasion was observed. A chronic inflamma tory infiltrates consisting mainly of lymphocytes with local areas of neutrophil accumulation was observed in some areas of the stroma (Fig. 3). The lesion was diagnosed as a carcinoma cuniculatum of the oral cavity. Differential diagnosis with
