ABSTRACT

Viral wart in the head and neck region can be commonly encountered in a clinician’s day to day practice and are typically benign in nature. We are reporting a case of malignant transformation of a benign Viral Wart (Verruca Vulgaris) into a huge malignant nasal mass. We would like to highlight that malignant transformation of a benign nasal wart can occur even after years of dormant period.
