Description
Summary:Introduction: Oral squamous papillomas are common lesions of the oral mucosa of squamous epithelial origin presenting as a papillary or verrucous exophytic mass. It is the fourth most common benign epithelial lesion associated with human papillomavirus (HPV) types 6 and 11.[1] It is usually seen in the age range of 30–50 years. The most common site of occurrence is the tongue and soft palate; however, other sites in the oral cavity may be affected. Objectives: The aim of the article was to present a rare case report of juvenile squamous papilloma on the hard palate which has been treated successfully by wide local excision. Treatment: The oral squamous papilloma was sent for histopathology after wide local excision of the lesion. Conclusion: Oral squamous papilloma is a rare clinical entity in children. The histopathological and immunohistochemistry (IHC) evaluation revealed the propensity of malignant transformation.
