Cureus. 2020 Jan 21;12(1):e6716. doi: 10.7759/cureus.6716.

Abstract

Squamous papilloma is an exophytic overgrowth of the soft tissue that is associated with human papillomavirus infection. It is rarely reported in the literature and uncommonly located on the uvula. We report a rare case of a squamous papilloma located in the uvula. Despite the small size of the tumor, the patient complaints were significant to mass-related symptoms. In addition, related literature was reviewed and results were discussed.

Keywords: epiglottis; hpv; larynx; oral cavity; pharynx; squamous papilloma.
