Two cases of verrucous carcinoma (VC) in the tongue are reported. VC is a variant of well differentiated squamous cell carcinoma. VC grows gradually, has a tendency of local invasion and seldom metastasizes. The patients were treated by laser partial glossectomy. There was neither local recur- rence nor distant metastasis observed. Surgical resection with sufficient safety margin is recom- mended.
