| 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. |
