Abstract:
Oral squamous papillomas are benign neoplasms of the oral cavity that occur commonly on the
palate. Albeit benign and often asymptomatic, they may still cause concern due to their appearance,
which may mimic other malignant oral pathologies. Human papillomavirus (HPV) is usually
implicated in papilloma pathogenesis. We present a rare case of symptomatic oral squamous
papilloma arising from the uvula and causing tongue and throat irritation. This benign lesion was
excised with electrocautery.
